Cloud - Caitlind r.c. Brown & Wayne Garrett
Installation
The piece utilizes everyday domestic light bulbs and pull strings, re-imagining their potential to create wonder and inspire collaboration. As part of the process of creating the sculpture, the artists collected burnt out incandescent light bulbs from the surrounding community, forging an informal relationship with non-artists, reducing costs, and asking audiences to reconsider household items in an alternative context.
During the exhibition, viewers interact with CLOUD by initiating impromptu collaborations, working as a collective to turn the entire sculpture on and off. Children and adults alike will enjoy its interactivity. We call him the king of Instagram and he'll put a smile on anyone's face. The environmental line of the installation makes it a work par excellence.
