For your diaries: ArtWranglers next “at home” exhibition will be glitter paintings by Rachel Jessie-Rae O’Connor, on Friday 9th November. This one, Phosphene Dream 2005, (synthetic polymers, acrylic paint, imitation gold leaf, glitter glue and foils scatters, 102 x 102 cm) will be in the show.

In case you didn’t know, a phosphene is an entoptic phenomenon characterized by the sensation of seeing light. Phosphenes are caused by mechanical, electrical, or magnetic stimulation of the retina or visual cortex as well as random firing of cells in the visual system. Who says Wikipedia isn’t useful?
