monotype and lithography on paper, mounted on aluminium dibond


In this work I explore the transience of the colours of evening and morning skies. Nightlight as a name means a state of luminosity that is specific to night. Because colour is light, nightlight could also be nightcolour. How ever, it is something which escapes clear definitions. The colours in the print changed slowly during the exhibition from lilac blue to green and to reddish orange. The phenomenon is called oxidation or bronzing of printing ink, and I am using it to expresses the idea of colour as an event rather than a controllable material. Nightlight was exhibited in BFA graduate show at Kuva/Tila in 2024.
