New Sculpture - "Hot line to the Hereafter"

Thought you might be interested in my new sculpture "Hotline to the Hereafter"

A modified intercom from early 20th century. Visually reinvented with "modern" technological touches to give a hint that this might be an object from an alternative history*. The red light winks rapidly when the device is in standby. On lifting the hand-piece from the cradle the connecting lead base glows orange and the listener is presented with purely random white-noise. An Atheist riposte in an increasingly religious world.

* maybe the Steampunk literary genre

Will be on show at Gallery-s (UK)(http://www.gallery-s.co.uk/) 4th March for 4 weeks.
