Catalogue Note

"Hodges' electric light art is inspiring. Again fusing everyday with extraordinary, the artist attaches random-sized household lightbulbs to banks of sockets. Some panels simply glow; some blink and flicker. Bathing the viewer in variations of color and brightness, these works exude changing amounts of palpable warmth – an effect that makes the light seem alive."
