The setting up of her company, called Liquid Light, was her biggest campaign contribution, a manufacturing concern, through which she creates, and provides artistic light installations, using old plumbing hardware married with L.E.D.s, creating uniquely designed, and custom-built light fixtures for a range of discerning customers.

Stunningly beautiful creations, crafted, almost unbelievably, from salvaged plumbing fixtures, the hand formed glass drops, which are the light part, are sculptures in their own right, and quite lovely, but these works by Tanya really come into their own when power is applied to them.

Eerie and ethereal, these glorious light fixtures glow with an environmental consciousness all their own., bathing onlookers in soft tones reminiscent of the water they represent.

Tanya Clarke’s Liquid Lights are stunning examples of environmental recycling having really practical applications, and to see more of them would be a real pleasure.
