SP21

‘SP21 is a continuation of the Scaffolding Piece series, utilising scaffolding tubes that have been industrially coated in black, and bolted into their configuration with zinc plated cast steel scaffolding clamps. Cool fluorescent tubes of light pass through each black length, creating a stark contrast between light and structure. Hanging yellow cables punctuate the surrounding wall space; lines of acid yellow. The works urban point of influence is balanced with its art historical references of both Flavin and Tatlin. The hard materials drawn from a built environment are transformed and softened by light, creating a new and unexpected aesthetic of raw beauty.’ (Nathaniel Rackowe, 2015).
