Plein Soleil is an intimate, yellow universe of manipulated and repurposed garbage, accumulations of light, and collections of shadows that originiated in my Glasgow art studio over the course of seven months, but lives on as a traveling, ephemeral state of mind. Under continuous construction and forever evolving, Plein Soleil is a culmination of assembled objects, time, gestures, and residues, an ephemeral world built to one’s own measure. It is a space that strangely obscures the conventional delineations between real and artificial, organic and manipulated, new and discarded.

Plein Soleil — Inverted Garden Suspension removes the painted yellow walls and floors that initially encapsulated Plein Soleil — Studio, and instead focuses on video projections to illuminate the space.
