Tokelau Storm - size 50 x 36cm - price £290
This is one of a series of pieces inspired by the South Sea islands of Tokelau. Working primarily with turqoise, blue and white and having sea and surf in mind, the swirling patterns of the resultant piece immediately brought to mind one of the many tropical storms which the Tokelau islanders are increasingly experiencing, due to global warming.
The felt piece is sandwiched between sheets of acrylic and extends to the edges of the sheet. The single light source is attached to the piece with small, virtually invisible bolts, and the piece is held together with zinc-plated bolts at each corner.
