I think my spirit animal is a magpie, anything that sparkles seems to make my heart flutter. Prepping the installation Weight of Light for @yorkfestivalofideas that opens on 4th June.

The processes seem simple but when the numbers are high the task is gargantuan. Prepping the installation Weight of Light for @yorkfestivalofideas that opens on 4th June.

These are just a fraction of the prisms I need for my next installation. It’s so good to get them out of the box and see it coming together. It’s a hive of activity at my studio @ushawdurham . Busy making a big installation for Weight of Light, a solo show that will open next month @yorkfestivalofideas at York St Mary’s @yorkmuseumstrust , in association with @uniofyork and supported by Arts Council England @aceagrams . . . . . . . #festivalofideas #yorkfestivalofideas #artscouncil #ace #acegrams #installation #installationart #artistsoninstagram #instaartists #commission #light #weightoflight #prisms #glass #sculpture #newton #goethe #colour #colourtheory #rainbows #shadows #refraction #art #reflection #artandscience #science #alexandracarr #universityofyork #yorkmuseumstrust #church
There’s a bit of a production line at the studio @ushawdurham . Late nights and no weekends to get the job done. No rest for the wicked. The reflections are keeping me amused though.

Good job I ordered spare prisms, there are bound to be some that haven’t made the trip across the continents. 2,500 prisms have arrived for my new installation Weight of Light, opening next month as part of @yorkfestivalofideas at York St Mary’s @yorkmuseumstrust , in association with @uniofyork and supported by Arts Council England @aceagrams . . . . . . . . #festivalofideas #yorkfestivalofideas #artscouncil #ace #acegrams #installation #installationart #artistsoninstagram #instaartists #light #weightoflight #prisms #glass #sculpture #newton #goethe #colour #colourtheory #rainbows #shadows #creativeprocess #art #artandscience #science #alexandracarr #universityofyork #yorkmuseumstrust #church #excitingdelivery
My materials have a lot more of a presence in my studio this week. In for the long haul of working on some of these 2,500 prisms for my new show Weight of Light. Sofa for scale!

I may have overwhelmed reception @ushawdurham with my 13 boxes of prisms. 2,500 in total for my installation Weight of Light, opening next month as part of @yorkfestivalofideas at York St Mary’s @yorkmuseumstrust , in association with @uniofyork and supported by Arts Council England @aceagrams . I don’t think I’ll be getting a day off for a while! . . . . . . . #festivalofideas #yorkfestivalofideas #artscouncil #ace #acegrams #installation #installationart #artistsoninstagram #instaartists #light #weightoflight #prisms #glass #sculpture #newton #goethe #colour #colourtheory #rainbows #shadows #creativeprocess #art #artandscience #science #alexandracarr #universityofyork #yorkmuseumstrust #church #excitingdelivery
It got pretty cosy up on the scaffold when it came to the gutsy part of the operation. One tending to the fluid line, another dealing with cables and another to hold the weight. Pretty tricky in a tight spot with nowhere to lean and the pressure to keep our greasy paws off the Perspex! The Cloud of Unknowing for Sculpt @artinthechurches opens next week. Thanks to everyone involved. . . . . . . . #artinchurches #sculpt #church #installation #installationart #faith #cloudofunknowing #cloudeofunknowyng #christianity #artcouncil #ace #artist #art #sculpture #artistsoninstagram #instaartist #wip #alexandracarr #conceptualart #contemporaryart #femaleartist #fog #lighting #kineticart #newmediaart #weatherasmedium #naturalphenomena
