An Applause Sign

Made this piece for a group show at LAMP Art Gallery in the fall of 2006. It's around 5 ft. long with eight 20wt. bulbs (one behind each letter). Bought by a private collector in Indianapolis (I've lost track of exactly who, bummer).

I've always thought applause signs were so strange, funny even. It's a cue to tell an audience in a studio when to clap, so that viewers at home will know what they should be appreciating. Wierd.
