Corrie Furner: Keep Calm

Overview

If you have a smartphone — and who doesn't? — then you've probably heard that blue light is bad for you. That's the shade of illumination that device you can't stop pawing at emits, and it's also the reason that you mightn't sleep so soundly at night. So, that's one side of the lighting spectrum. On the other sits the soothing tones of pink, glowing brightness.

If blue light keeps you awake, pink keeps you calm — and doesn't artist Corrie Furner know it. Her latest exhibition champions that very concept in its name, and demonstrates it in its pieces. Here, you really will keep calm and carry on.

Or, you'll head to Metro Arts between February 15 and March 4 for a dose of light-based relaxation that will also force you to explore the how and why. Expect many a flickering, but of the good kind. Strobe lights are out, sources of light that reset your equilibrium are in.
