In each of Tim Etchells' projects, whether a performance, gallery installation or neon work, there is an encounter or an event unfolds, and through his use of language, narratives are revealed, new stories constructed as others recede.
Here Etchells discusses the first of his public artworks for Weston-super-Mare, Winter Piece, a two-part neon light work produced for the Winter Gardens Pavilion. Two statements ‘The Things You Can’t Remember’ and ‘The Things You Can’t Forget’ are illuminated in blue neon on the façade of the pavilion. Etchells' works in neon often take a narrative form or make a proposition which place unresolvable ideas or language propositions in public space.
