Spectre Beacon 2007
A similar visually arresting architectural intervention but with a more
scientific approach and eye can be read within the project 'Spectre Beacon'
by Jessica Lloyd-Jones: fascinated by exposing connections between sea,
technology and man, she uses the lighthouse, its history, function and
mystery as a metaphor for an exchange between science fiction and science
fact. As evening falls radiance emerges from a disused lighthouse, its
reactive glow captured from the sun, emerging as a 'memory' of the day's
light. This light reactive work corresponds with her research into
bioluminescence, mimicking a biological phenomenon and shifting it into a
stationary, architectural form, at once a statement on beacons of safety,
signals of living materials. -Alex Hetherington
