Variable power source: Every LED works properly at 9V.

Fixed 9V power source: Only LEDs in series 2 and 3 work properly, LEDs 4 and 5 have no sensitivity and LED 1 blew.

Possible solutions: Changing from fixed power source to variable power source, changing from series circuit to parallel circuit.

Martina Corry’s Luminograms

“All the works in the GTG show are created entirely in the darkroom. I worked under normal B/W safelight conditions for this body of work but have previously worked in the darkroom without any light other than the light source I am using to make my mark with. However, either way I cannot see the mark I have made until I have passed the photographic paper through the developer – I print my own work. I have a small darkroom and manage to print large sheets of photographic paper, which I buy in rolls up to 114.5cm/45inch wide.

I like the darkroom environment, its quietude, it really is my studio…”

Ceal Floyer

her practice she once described as ‘manifesting uncertainty in art’, focuses attention on the space allotted to art (usually by filling it up with next to nothing), and on the interaction between expectations and perception.

Floyer’s work uses the idea of uncertainty in expression through art as a means of expression. The feeling of being trapped in a cycle in her work is something that I can relate to and try to express in my own work. However, her work tends to hint that regardless of the feeling of repetitiveness, life still goes on, as her work does.
