Sunset (South Texas, 6/21/03) is one of many installations Finch has produced to relocate specific experiences of natural light. After taking exact light measurements at the sites of ancient Troy and Emily Dickinson's backyard, he used fluorescent tubes and color filters to re-create the luminescence that inspired classics of literature. His systematic but playful light installations communicate a yearning to measure the intangible alongside a self-deprecating awareness of human limitations.
