“Atop these commercially available objects, Irwin wraps a layer, or layers, of colored and metallic
gels, similar to those employed in theaters to give stage lights their different tonalities;
like a painter, he “blends” these hues through juxtaposition, anticipating the brilliant
visual effects that ensue and how our eyes perceive them. He also adds touches of
black and white in the form of strips of tape running vertically along the bulbs, as well
as on the sides of the light fixtures. These interventions create a feeling of depth and
recession that defy the relatively flat, bas-relief nature of the objects.”
