MONUMENT RECALL
 
"Debby and Larry Kline work conceptually with the themes of spectacle and monument, harnessing invisible forces to create monuments that are both troubling and compelling. The Electric Fields of California are site-specific fluorescent light installations spanning the state of California. The Klines discovered that the ambient electricity generated by electric towers is sufficient to illuminate fluorescent tubes. They construct monuments consisting of vast fields of these tubes inserted in the ground near the base of the towers. The last in this series was installed in northern California in fall 2004 on Highway 37, at Sears Point."
