The illusionary nature of Hopgood’s Work, which literally plays with the idea of existence, appearance and reality through the practical use of projection. He creates a liminal space for the viewer, one that exists in a state of transference from reality to dream and back again. The projection on solid plaster forms. which in itself is n index of another figure, only becomes ‘alive’ when the projector is present. His Neon Work has been exhibited at The Museum Of Modern Art / Kenny Goss Foundation in Dallas for the MTV Staying Alive Foundation.
