Yellow Double Switch Piece

"The first light bulb pieces I made refer to the street crossing system used in Britain. This system was designed by Mr. Belisha sometime during the 30s. It functions as a sign to indicate to both the pedestrians and the cars to be aware that this should be a safe place for the pedestrians to cross the road, therefore indicating the place where people walking and people driving cars interface. The light pieces developed and evolved form this starting point...that is changed the terms of the sign and the people who it indicates, or tells something to, by shifting this basic language of flashing lights into another context. The flashes become more complex and the colours vary, as the first yellow ones I used were like the first words in a codified language of cause and effect, action and knowledge, or awareness between people and objects."
