DescriptionA bright flash of red light is at the upper right. The form is elongated with yellow bursts in its center. Beneath the form are red strands. This “light” art is created by holding the camera shutter open in a dark space and using a flashlight to smear the light as one would with a brush. The light can also be used for more detailed, precise work. Cooper experimented with light and photography throughout the 1970”s.
