About The Artwork

This lightbox is the ideal way of displaying sets of Petri Latex dishes (see Petri Latex Light Installations page). My Petri Latex lightboxes are the perfect addition to any home, provide a unique, warm and comforting light that highlights each of the dishes to perfection. Each lightbox contains a set of dishes that are produced with the same 'recipe' and show how different effects can be created despite the limitations of material and process. The lightbox is named for the date and time that the dishes were created. The joy with these lightboxes is that the detail seems to change depending on the time of day and position. Size Height: 30 cm Width: 30 cm Depth: 10cm Petri Dish Size: 9cm diameter What others think of the Petri Latex Light boxes 'I first saw Paul's wonderful light boxes on show at Lady Bay Arts Festival and fell in love with their celestial beauty that just draws you in. The ones I saw were wall-mounted, but I knew just where I wanted mine and it needed to be free-standing. I was delighted that Paul was happy and able to adapt my chosen one perfectly - our beautiful light box is a source of continual pleasure to us and of fascination to visitors to our home.' Fran T Certificate of Authenticity Each lightbox is unique, no two are the same. The lightbox will come with a signed Certificate of Authenticity with details of the work. Construction The precision cut MDF boxes are spray painted a warm white and fitted with LED strip lights which provide a soft even back light to the dishes. The dishes are secure within the box and will not move. Each box comes with a removable back panel to allow for any future maintenance. The LED striplights are low maintenance and come complete with a UK plug socket meaning you can switch on the box as soon as it arrives.

I'm an artist who doesn't use a brush; I work with a range of materials from plaster and clay, through to latex, ice and oil, which allow me to create ambiguous objects and images. My practice begins out of a scientific curiosity and I look for materials that intrigue, I really need to be able to feel a material, whether physically or mentally, to become involved in what it represents to me and how it can be transformed into something beyond our expectations. My creative side emerges when I use the material for the first time, putting in colour, chemicals, light or myself in some way. Those first seconds when a reaction begins and I have given up control captivates me. I allow the material to take over and begin speaking to me; seeing how the different elements amalgamate or repel each other immerses me totally. The most rewarding materials are those that push back, simultaneously asserting themselves and yet allowing me to lead. So for me the scientific and creative merge forming a tension between chaos and order which is constantly evolving, sometimes with rules and others with complete freedom, but each enabling me to learn the language of the material. I try to create intentionally abstract pieces, which enable me to then develop a relationship with those viewing my work. Watching as someone reacts to an unseen entity that they have sensed in my work creates a conversation about who and what each person is and what they believe. These interactions drive me to further understand the affect that I can create with the work I produce and how it is presented.
