Paul Malone : Fast Night Sky Pod

Fast Night Sky Pod. 1997. Acrylic on plywood box: 90 x 45 x 25 cms.

 

'Fast Night Sky Pod' is a single wave form with a flat horizon line defining the top. It is a midnight blue colour with yellow - white streaks that emulate the effect of stars rapidly travelling across the retina as the eye is scanned across the night sky. There is a an optical 'fault line' three quarters to the left as the luminosity of something unseen starts to impinge.
