Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to fully convey the metallic nature of the aluminium. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The bottom and left edges of the frame are separating slightly from the plexiglass and some fine wood fibres appear to have collected along the lower inside edges.

Catalogue Note

"For me, light is immaterial, and in my case, I prefer to make works that are instruments for light. My sculptures do have a kind of function: of making light visible."
