Still Light by Caroline Broadhead
1999. Elastene, talc.
Originally seen at Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham, England.
"Windows can be seen as the ‘eyes’ of a building, through
which there is a view inside and out, letting light in or being
screened to obstruct the light. I had worked with shadows for
some time when I made this piece, ‘Still Light’, and it was a
response to working in a sunny studio space in Vienna, where
I would watch the patch of light moving across the floor every
day. I wanted to arrest this moment, to stop time passing, and
to divide the light from the shade. I thought of the walls of
the building being like a dress, or the skin of a body. The
boundary of the building has been penetrated, the outside
come in." -- Caroline Broadhead
