CUPARARTSFESTIVAL2011
Lumen
Lumen, which can both refer to a central space of a biological vessel such as an artery, or to the measurement of the power of light perceived by the eye, becomes an appropriate title for this outdoor work that can only take shape upon the movement of the viewer through the close and the power of the sunlight. Created from work by local schoolchildren at CastlehillPrimary School, who were asked to make drawings or writings in response to what makes Cupar special to them, this artwork is drawn directly onto the walls of the close leading to the courtyard of the old school on Millgate in light- sensitive transparent ink. Solar-powered lights installed in the close will gradually reveal the invisible drawings as viewers move in and out of the passageway, creating a sense of purpose during the journey and a space for refelection. An associated exhibition of the children’s drawings can be found at Cupar YMCA.

COLLABORATION|CALLEJA|CASS|SOLAR
Gurdan Lighthouse was the starting point of the brainstorm for the collaboration. Things have moved on a bit since, but it is a site that might be revisited, maybe not necessarily for this project. Thanks so far to Dad and Carmelo Grima who helped me on with some research data.

Deciding to start a blog. Just wanted a space where I can look back, comment and keep a record of my thoughts and work. Starting a blog with a work that i just finished last week for a friend of mine who is going to be ordained this week. This is the invite for his first mass, to which the theme is ‘All look to you in hope and you feed them with the food of the season’ from psalm 145. I consider this work as a maquette because finally I consider that such image would have worked better as a screen print rather than a painting.
