The light cupboard is supposed to reflect hope, if we lose our hope there is little left. And yet hope is a concept which is often forgotten, or not made a priority.

The cupboard is based on the child's way of thinking,that is free and without prejudice, with references to naivism. Ie: the child within us, our joy, curiosity, imagination, expectation and need for adventure. Cupboards have a magical quality about them, they are used in stories, poetry and carry the possibility of adventure.

The project has developed from the artists researchinto systems. They are all around is and their role is varied. Systems are neither good nor bad, but more a tool of who ever creates them.

The cupboards have inbuilt light-emitting diodes. When a door is opened a light goes on in one of the colours of the rainbow, which reminds us of hope and connects the user to it in a tangible way.
