“Air & Light” is a monument to sunlight. The intention of this artwork is to suspend a moment in time, capturing the burst of sunlight on the horizon at golden hour and bathing the viewer in warm soft light through reflections cast on the golden surface of the brass. The title is named after the chapter “Air & Light” in The Living Mountain and refers to both the representation of light through the material and to the negative space surrounding the artwork. Although the sun is essential to our survival, this work is a tribute to the beguiling, ephemeral, intangible nature of light and the way it saturates the air and dances on the surfaces of people and landscapes alike.
