BACKLIT COLLAGE LIGHTBOXES

SUSANNA & MARK HELMAN COLLABORATION

Made using hundreds of small lights and custom electronics, these glossy, translucent  static and kinetic backlit collages explore how weather and climate changes impact various panoramic land and seascapes beginning in 2008.

 

The natural elements fog, rain, sunshine and wind are visually translated using unconventional materials; paper and light. These hand-made, back-lit lightboxes are created using hundreds of hand-soldered lights to create a custom light panel. Using paper, colored plastic and, in some cases, motors, to create movement without the use of digital imagery, these pieces explore and visually translate lightning, sea storms, twisters and falling snow.
