In her childhood it was always impressed upon Rosie Barnes and her siblings to never leave a light on in a room that wasn\u2019t occupied. The reasons were simple and clear \u2013 it was a waste of money and resources. She still sticks to this childhood rule and it remains problematic for her to see lights left on in empty rooms and buildings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few years, she has become increasingly drawn to the sight of lights within our landscapes that remain switched on during daylight \u2013 either mistakenly left on, or via some malfunctioning circuit.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At night and in darkness they provide an essential light of practical use and safety, yet by day, these Lights Left On, jar and create a disruption.  And as they are lit by the natural light that surrounds them, they become simply an object, not a useful tool.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a person who finds light (particularly artificial light), from a sensory perspective, highly over stimulating, she is very attracted to this idea of lights being reduced to mere objects. These Lights Left On have been somehow minimised by the space and light that surrounds them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst they bestow an unsettling beauty upon these landscapes, the Lights Left On also offer a more uneasy comment on our casual wastage of resources.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
