"Origin"
Funnels, Light bulbs, glycerin, pump and electricity.
"The most radical departure from photo-based imagery in the show is Jim Hamlyn's sculpture ("Origin") made with light bulbs. In this piece, two rows of light bulbs are placed at an oblique angle so that the spheres of the bulbs are positioned above one another. A fine stream of glycerine drops onto the bulbs, tracing its transparent path across them in subtle patterns. Besides the use of illumination and light transmitting materials (glycerine, glass), another thing this work has in common with the photographic, in the more usual sense, is the quality of close, nuanced observation it demands of the viewer."
