Z Point 2001

Angela Bulloch made this grid of glowing squares called Z Point, and I think it's really cool. I can only imagine what it was like for Bulloch to create this piece, working with light and colour, playing with the hard edges and glowing light. There’s such a controlled geometry with these squares, and I can see her carefully adjusting the brightness of each one, shifting from white to light orange to hot red. I feel the heat from those reds at the bottom! It reminds me of other artists who work with grids, like Agnes Martin, but with Bulloch, she’s using digital technology to create something that feels both very modern and surprisingly sensual. It really makes you think about how colour and light can affect how you feel when you see something. It’s as though Bulloch is painting with light.
