Tokelau - Deep Down - size 38 x 30cm - price £470

This is one of a series of pieces inspired by the South Sea islands of Tokelau. Here, I've used uv-reactive fibres, so that when the uv ('blacklight') tube is turned on, it creates an intense glow with some of the fibres, whilst making the non-reactive fibres appear almost black - like the gloom deep down in the ocean, punctuated by the fluorescent colours of mysterious deep sea creatures. When the light is turned off, you see a semi-abstract view of the rich colours of tropical islands.

Inspired by the story of Tokelau, I have produced a series of work to capture the romance and beauty of these coral atolls. Click here to look at the special website which I have set up about the Tokelau Internet Project and the work which I have produced inspired by the islands.
