Remember my obsession with neon lights? Tim Etchells is my man. His neon installations are both intelligent and cool-looking. Would love to see his art installed somewhere in my city.

These signs are not random. For instance, 'All We Have':
"Echoing Beckett, Etchells’ All We Have presents two
almost-identical phrases, the difference between them formed through the
addition or subtraction of a single letter ‘L’, which marks the
difference between ‘words’ and ‘worlds’. The simple, punning shift in
the text from one line to the next creates a loop of apparent
contradiction, inviting the viewer to reflect on the question of what it
is that makes up and comprises our lives; the concrete material of a
world or the ephemeral material of language and ideas." (timetchells.com)
