Women Light Artists – Collected Light Volume One, 2022

The Women In Lighting project led Light Collective to the curation of Collected Light: Volume One, which features 44 women working as artists using the medium of light. Light Collective asked over 40 women to participate by sharing images of their work. From immersive environments to reactive light, beautiful glowing objects, to light that tells a story, this collection of light art from women artists includes a multitude of manipulations of the medium. Directing the viewer to contemplate colour, nature, politics, life and even death, the true power of light as an artistic medium is perfectly portrayed by the artists included.

After participating in many conferences, exhibitions and light festivals around the world, it became apparent to them that there is an onus on, and much greater visibility of, male artists who work, or have worked, with light within their bodies of work. The book is a small step towards trying to redress this imbalance and bring their work to a wider audience.

Liliane Lijn’s featured works are: Temenos, 2021; Converse Column, 2019; Sunstar, 2018.
