Sculpture built for the "Home" Exhibition curated by Martin Healy as part of Cork 2004 -
European City of Culture.

Sculpture is an energy loop, a wood fire heats a steam boiler, that powers a steam engine, that turns a generator, that makes electricity to power a digital camera, that makes a digital image of the fire.

The digital fire is presented on a flat screen monitor inside the gallery offering viewers a comparison between pure "authentic" fire and a self-generated modern alternative.
