Horizon is a series that investigates the influence of electrical data on earth, air and water.  Here layers of translucent LED screens are illuminated by neon lines alone that allude to the output of oscilloscopes which measure electrical voltage. With the consumption of power, how do we affect the natural world? The answer might be hinted at by the neon line that bifurcates the screen, apparently causing a distortion of the video image.  The images appear as moving abstractions, though they are all from natural sources recorded by the artist.  The horizon can refer to time as well as distance, each one coloring our perceptions. ​

Thanks to David Shields for his neon expertise.
