Women Light Artists
Collected Light Volume Two
A second inspiring collection of art that uses light as its main medium from 44 more female artists from around the world.
The response to the first Collected Light book was overwhelmingly positive and this led to the desire to expand to a second volume. There are hundreds of female artists working with light all over the world and this new collection contains the work of another forty four artists. While artistic talent transcends gender, research indicates a notable gender gap in the art world. Male artists are often over-represented in collections, exhibitions and high-paying roles, while female artists face financial disparities and limited recognition in art history and cultural narratives.
Addressing this disparity is not just about rectifying past injustices but also about inspiring future generations of women to pursue careers in art and lighting. By highlighting the achievements of women in this field, we not only acknowledge their invaluable contributions but also challenge the stereotypes and barriers that have hindered their recognition. This book aims to elevate these stories, offering a platform for acknowledgement and appreciation. Through these pages, we seek to celebrate the artistry, passion and perseverance of the female artists, encouraging a more inclusive and equitable industry where every contribution is celebrated, regardless of gender.
