BIG NEON by Kelsey Fernkopf

 I place neon sculptures in the landscape, studying the visual effects produced when luminous light, line and color, intersect chosen environments. Contrasting the fragility of glass with bold design, I create single neon tubes up to 30 linear feet in length, transporting them to unexpected surroundings. My neon installations in both urban and natural landscapes are site-specific and temporal, documented by photography and digital media. Framing both the urban and natural environment with light, I rely on the medium as the message, exploring light, line, color and form as I offer the viewer and myself a new perspective on our surroundings.
