‘Invasive Light’ examines the ecological interference of Scotch broom through a moving image created by digitally transforming one photograph into another. Realized as a large-format lenticular print, it captures the plant’s dual nature, both luminous and invasive, within a shifting visual field that parallels its spread across coastal landscapes.
The image presents the plant’s explosive yellow bloom in motion, shifting with the viewer. The lenticular surface enacts invasion, spreading across vision and refusing to resolve. It activates perception through movement, demanding bodily participation in its proliferation.
Scotch broom spreads aggressively, overtaking native ecologies while dazzling the eye with radiant colour. This tension between attraction and disturbance is held in suspension. As the viewer passes, blooms rupture into abstraction, evoking sensation over subject. Invasive Light asks how perception itself can be overtaken, how spectacle can camouflage disruption, and how brilliance can obscure consequence.
