Shifting Luminosity

Installation (LEDs, plastic pipes)
Variable dimensions
2024

Shifting Luminosity explores and demonstrates colour mixing in a three dimensional field. The hues utilised are taken directly from the Munsell Farnsworth 100 Hue Colour Vision Test (a test of the human visual system often used to check for colour blindness or superior colour vision). Each line emits one single hue derived from the test that then mixes with its neighbours to create a diverse blend of 'new' colours on the adjacent wall. This work challenges how a person’s individual colour vision and perception could result in seeing a completely different range of colours. The painterly approach within the construction of this installation reference Josef Albers ideas about additive mixing with light rather than pigment.
