Commissioned by Turner Contemporary and Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust in collaboration with Culture Kent. 'Dutch/Light (for Agneta Block)' is an artwork pavilion activated by colour and light which takes its structure from early glasshouse technology. The work was commissioned to mark the 350th anniversary of the infamous Dutch Raid on the River Medway, Kent, an event which precipitated an end to the Anglo-Dutch wars. The peace which followed lead to cultural exchange between the two nations based on growing plants under glass. 'Dutch/Light' changes through the suns passage, creating a space of shifting geometric colour. The work is named for a key figure in Dutch horticulture – Agneta Block (1629–1704) – an art patron and plantswoman who was the first European to grow a pineapple from seed.
