Artwork Description | Revoltage is alarge light bulb sculpture coining anew word, ergo, anew thought.<br />
It fills the space with warmth and light, embracing both celebration and rage.<br />
Like elements of afestive marquee, each of the nine letters light up to suggest<br />
an incandescent hybrid between electricity and uprising –alternately illuminating<br />
the words 'revolt' and 'voltage.'<br />
At atime when demonstrations are unmaking the polis onadaily basis incity<br />
squares and streets across the world, Revoltage registers first as an after-image<br />
(the kind we see when weshut our eyes after looking at astrong source of light)<br />
and then as asubliminal suggestion that brightens our days with the brilliance of<br />
aform oftruant, rebel power that refuses toeither name itself orbenamed.<br />
Revoltage, 2011
