Installed in an open gallery space, projecting light from 1125 LED bulbs, a 36 inch cross installed on the wall drenches the viewer in the spectrum or red light. Michaels transforms an architectural space and turned color into an immersive and embodied experience. Using light as a sculptural material, Michaels explores the physical and emotional effects of his viewers, forcing them into a space of confrontation between the gay community and medical community.
