Remedial Geologies IV
‘Remedial Geologies’ is a series of light art works depicting natural rock formations in clear glass and noble gases. Often referred to by the generic term ‘neon art’ this particular work primarily contains argon gas stimulated by a high voltage to produce a blue glow.The work seeks to explore the link between natural landscape and wellness, asking whether the landscape can still be remedial if viewed through a digital or abstracted medium such as a light installation. As a disabled artist Romily cannot easily access the mountainous landscapes she depicts in light.The shape of ‘Remedial Geologies IV’ was inspired by a rock formation in North Wales, an area that can be seen from the Blackpool coast.Jointly commissioned with Unlimited https://weareunlimited.com/
