A closer look at the work

A small illuminated Ferris wheel stands beyond a broad field. Dark furrows lead towards the low horizon. Above, a large grey-green sky contains a short diagonal light trail. Trees close the landscape on the right, while distant lights suggest further habitation to the left.

Big Wheel alters the scale of an ordinarily large attraction. From a distance it becomes one bright sign within a mostly dark field. Mechanical movement appears as a seemingly fixed form of light. The wheel below and trail above establish a visual relationship without necessarily sharing a cause. A few lights at different distances organise the landscape.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
