ThisweekIhave beenfortunate enoughtovisitthe TownerGallerywherebyIhave witnessed
artworksof variousartistswhohave respondedto‘light,itsmateriality,transience andeffect. ‘
A Certain Kind of Light includedartworkbyartistssuchas AnishKapoor,L S Lowry,Katie Paterson,
PeterSedgley,Rachel WhitereadandJulianOpie.Howeverone artistwhostoodoutto me the most,
particularlybecause of the relationtomyworkisRoger Ackling.
RogerAcklingusesa magnifyingglasstoharnessthe sunand burngrids of blackonto piecesof
driftwood.He collaborateswithnature toproduce the artwork.ThisissomethingIhave been
consideringthroughoutmypractice.
I like thisquote –‘He marked the wood withouttouching it.’
Thissuggeststhatalthoughthe outcome belongstohim, he hasnot touchedit.He insteadhasused
the science of nature to create it.It remindsme of many landartistswhowork alongside nature to
produce art work suchas Richard Long and ChrisDrury.
