Skies can't keep secrets / Spencer Finch

"The Skies Can't Keep Their Secret " Spencer Finch             (photo R, Allen-Sherwood)

Went to the Turner Contemporary in Margate recently and was enchanted by the light & space themed work, of artist Spencer Finch.  (My picture doesn't really do it justice.)

Using the wide open airy spaces of the building as his point of departure, he weaves together the simplest of materials to create an installation which exudes a delicate and ethereal sense of "being". As the setting sun streams light rays into the room the tones and shadows in the work subtly shift and change....... 

Perhaps a time-lapse video of the final 'Grey Out' might have helped those of us who don't have time to stay and watch the changes happen in real time? Just a thought.

The artist speaks about the thoughts behind the work here.

"These trees are magnificent, but even more magnificent is the sublime and moving space between them, as though with their growth it too increased.”  Rilke
