   ‘We celebrated last night. Thirty years since C made the wind-vane, and 350 since Isaac proved white light is composed of the colours of the spectrum…’

This work pays homage to physicist Sir Isaac Newton and video artist Chris Welsby by imagining their night-time meeting at the same spot -on London’s Hampstead Heath- where, three centuries apart, Newton learned to fly kites as a boy and Welsby created his perhaps best known work, Wind Vane.
