\nCharlotte\u2019s work, called Ephemeral Rays, consists of hundreds of light bulbs, dust and fishing line. It seeks to reflect the way in which light rests within a space, settling like dust even if just momentarily.

infinite horizon line as the focal point of the composition.
\n\u201cThe relationship between place and space is of huge interest. I enjoy the ephemeral characteristic of site-specific working, the work becomes more experiential, similar to the wonder of light and the art lives on in the memories of those who experienced it\u201d explains Smith about Ephemeral Rays.<\/p>\n
