An installation in an exhibition, Space Midlands Art Centre, Birmingham, UK 2004. the light shadow was taken from a domestic interior and transferred to a gallery space in the Art Centre. The intention was to introduce a shadow that was unexpected and unexplained into an exhibition area, where there was a high level of people passing through. Most people instinctively around them for the source of the light.
