Artist: Mark Buckland
Artist Statement
A series of 50 stackable and relocatable light boxes explore concepts of light and dark and their relation to knowledge. As towers they function as beacons or sentinels – illuminating, guiding, educating, warning - disseminators of knowledge but also reflecting the ubiquitous screen and the oversupply and misuse of information.
