UVF is repeatedly drawn with a cigarette lighter on white transparent perspex, and then sealed with an acrylic resin. The works ironically raise the casual gesture, found in the dark passages of a public toilet, to the level of the heroic, and question the seductive beauty offered by the ethereal wonder of industrial plastic.
