Fruit Lights – Environment-Friendly Installations by Caleb Charland
Caleb Charland has turned the concept behind a high school science project into a piece of art. In his brilliant series “Back To Light” he drew inspiration from the classic grade school science project, the potato battery. A current is created when a galvanized iron nail is inserted into one side of the potato is connected to a piece of copper inserted in the other side. This time, instead of potatoes, he used fruits, mostly citruses, and even a few jars of what seems to be apple cider. He said: ” The utter simplicity of this electrical phenomenon is endlessly fascinating for me . . . My hope is that these photographs function as micro utopias by suggesting and illustrating the endless possibilities of alternative and sustainable energy production. The cycle that begins with the light of our closest star implanting organic materials with nutrients and energy, is re-routed in these images, Back to Light, illuminating earth once again.”

I love my dogs, reading books, and taking great pictures with my battered but still functional digital camera. Taking great pictures with a high end camera is almost too easy, producing fantastic images with an outdated one is an accomplishment by itself.
