'The Light That Burns Twice As Bright' - Offworld Sculpture

Recently, whilst staying in a little French village (Pontlevoy), I talked my way into using a disused warehouse of a slowly deteriorating abbey; the neglected gold rolex of an American businessman.

I wanted to build an internally floodlit sculpture that commented on this, my current living situation, offworld project, and a nod to religion.

Every element of the installation was sourced from an abandoned part of the abbey.
I only ever intended it to be a photo series, ending in its eventual destruction, but the villagers took an interest, and on the final night turned up in a sort of impromptu gallery opening, and demanded it be left there.
The somewhat bewildered village vicar asked where the hope was.
I pointed out it was mostly white.

Full story and proper photos coming later on the main site, as soon as I can get back to rephotograph.
