Spencer was a Goldsmith art college student when he created the work, displayed in a tree outside of the Wapping Project, an arts venue in East London within the historic Wapping Hydraulic Power Station. Veuve Clicquot (champagne house) commissioned Spencer to create the installation in celebration of their signature color yellow, Pantone #137C, registered 130 years ago.

I am working with phosphorescent technology in search of a magic, meditative, hypnotic and spiritual experience. – Sam Spencer
