Residency & Installation for FLW Martin House in Buffalo New York
FIAT LUX or ‘let there be light’ is a site specific immersive installation that explores Frank Lloyd Wright’s use of light as a primary medium.
The site-specific installation reimagines how Wright’s symphony of constructed rhythms alchemizes light into an ethereal, ephemeral, even spiritual experience.
Concepcion’s work responds to the spatial strategies and design gestures the architect implemented at Martin House, most notably the central fireplace. The installation is anchored by the Martin House hearth, the beating heart of the home and what Wright believed to be a portal linking his buildings to earth and sky.
Concepcion immerses the audience into her composition by combining cyanotype printed textiles with the enveloping motif of a Martin House original blueprint which is organized by a grid.
Drawing upon her heritage, she also employs the bold visual language of Binakol weaving—a traditional Filipino textile also characterized by a grid which creates geometric optical illusion patterns holding deep religious significance and a connection with light and nature, just like Wright’s architecture.
FIAT LUX is a poetic conversation between past and present, between Wright’s vision and Concepcion’s heritage-infused practice.
