BIG NEON: Large Diameter Luminous Tube Sculpture

Seattle based artist Kelsey Fernkopf’s BIG NEON sculptures highlight the linear and luminous qualities of neon glass tubing using a single continuous tube technique uniquely his own. His BIG NEON work manifests the gigantic while contrasting the fragility of glass with bold design. Illuminated line and curve emanate dynamic strength and interact with their environment both as freestanding sculpture or in play with the architecture of walls and floors around them. Often creating single continuous tubes reaching 30 linear feet in length, Kelsey Fernkopf’s BIG NEON challenges the boundaries of the luminous tube medium.
