Light Shot on a Bender is the first of a series of works based on the painting by Giovani di Paolo “The Creation of the World and the Expulsion From Paradise” 1445. Light Shot on a Bender translates the “universe” element of Giovanni’s painting, (a Pre- Copernican representation), into a contemporary light vortex. The architectural LED lights have been installed and arranged by hand, evoking embroidery or Masaii jewelery. The surrounding cloud of mist fluctuates blurring and revealing the work’s light patterns according to the wind.
