Gavin Luminescence

“‘Gavin Luminescence’ is made directly from recycled scrap steel, salvaged building materials, and neon lighting. The subject is a solitary figure, weathered and worn, but bright and still standing strong. Gavin is a metaphor for all of us, struggling through the trials and tribulations of life, caught in a moment between resisting their past and becoming their future.

Each of the sculptures in the ‘Gavin’ series takes on a new element in the structure. Each sculpture attempts to explore variations of the human condition, through the drawing process of different materials. ‘Gavin Luminescence’ is a collaboration with artist Scott Young, to bring the element of light into the ‘Gavin’ series. Our internal essence is embodied by this internal drawing with neon light.”
