Paul Myoda\u2019s glowing sculptures in his exhibition \u201c41\u00b052’40.0″N 71\u00b044’37.0″W\u201d are a \u201clove letter to Chepachet,\u201d the Rhode Island town where he lives, according to Providence\u2019s Yellow Peril Gallery<\/a>, where they\u2019re on view through Jan. 27.<\/p>\n

Though these 2017 scultpures are made from cast acrylic, aluminum, vacuformed styrene and LED lights, they\u2019re inspired by the trees and shores and waters of the local Ponaganset Reservoir, by maps of the place, by bark and cattails.<\/p>\n

Myoda was one of the creators of the iconic \u201cTribute In Light,\u201d each year on the anniversary of the 9\/11 terrorist attacks on New York, honoring victims with a pair of searchlights beaming into the sky as a sort of \u201cphantom towers.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also made a series of \u201cGlittering Machines\u201d (one is in the gallery\u2019s back room), intimate devices of plastic, metal and lights that respond to people getting close with spinning devices and flashing lights as if the machines are scared or provoked and trying to frighten you off.<\/p>\n
