Spencer Finch

Finch produces work in a wide variety of mediums, including watercolor, photography, glass, electronics, video and fluorescent lights.

After measuring with a colorimeter the light that exist naturally in a specific place and time, Finch re-constructs the luminosity of the location through artificial means.

The work is integrated into the window bays of the former Nabisco Factory loading dock, as a series of 700 purple and grey colored glass panes.

Creative Time worked with the artist to realize the site-specific concept that emerged when he saw the rusted, disused mullions of the old factory, which metal and glass specialists Jaroff Design helped to prepare and reinstall.

[2] Finch was chosen to create the only work of art commissioned for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
