This is one of a series of pieces inspired by the South Sea islands of Tokelau.   Here, I've used uv-reactive wool, threads and fibres and lit the piece on all 4 sides with slim uv tubes hidden in the black acrylic frame so that, when the 'blacklight' tubes are turned on, it creates an intense glow with some of the fibres, whilst making the non-reactive fibres appear almost black - like the gloom deep down in the ocean, punctuated by the fluorescent colours of mysterious deep sea creatures.   When the light is turned off, you see a semi-abstract view of the rich colours of tropical islands.

Inspired by the story of Tokelau, I have produced a series of work to capture the romance and beauty of these coral atolls.   Click here to look at the special website which I have set up about the Tokelau Internet Project and the work which I have produced inspired by the islands.
