‘Reflect on this’
lizz Tuckerman (2002)
Originating from digital photographs taken in the laboratory, ‘Reflect on this’ was made specifically for the stairwell of the Clinical Chemistry Department, Northern General Hospital, Sheffield.
Composed of five 1500 x 30cm glass panels, the work is designed as a gentle reminder that the specimens that pass through Clinical Chemistry are all from unique human beings and that without light there would be no life.
Images of lab analysers have been manipulated to echo coding systems in recognition of the unique origin of each sample. At the same time the panels are arranged in the same order as the spectrum of white light, linking them to analysis by spectrophotometer and the relevance of light to life.
