The installation, 'Gold Head Yellow Dancer', was a meditation on the spiritual significance of light in relation to the body, time and the machine. The exhibition consisted of four motorcycle windshields that resembled ritual, animalistic masks. To these were attached seeds, cones and branches of sacred trees that signified letters of the Ogham alphabet, myths, and seasons in Celtic folklore and the calendar wheel. Vitamin-D supplements were arranged in a ritualistic circle in the centre of the room - pills consumed in the winter months to treat seasonal depression in the absence of sunlight. The ambient light in the space was altered through window blinds, animated using electronics triggered by motion sensors.
