Martin Griffiths began his career in the far west of Wales where he worked as a painter for 20 years.  His practice developed through many phases, from landscape painting in the 1980s, through abstraction in the 1990s focusing on architecture, music and meditation, towards an overriding interest in the experience of light.  He exhibited widely in Wales and the UK, and took part in group shows in London and New York.  After moving to Lincolnshire in 2002, he received an Arts Council grant to develop 2-D light works using new materials and processes, in consultation with the National Physical Laboratory, and this work inspired his move into light sculpture in 2004.   The current work has emerged from several years of research and development into creating new optical experiences in collaboration with many companies in the UK and abroad.  Recently he has been working on larger-scale installations for public spaces, which extend the experience of architecture into the medium of light.  Through a continuous process of development, the principal sources of the work have remained constant – nature, music, architecture, meditation.  Current ideas for developing architectural light installations which surround the viewer with coloured light have as much in common with sculpture as painting, and could be described as ‘three-dimensional paintings’ which build into light.  The focus of his research, in his artistic practice, writings and workshops, is the influence light can have on mind and body, and the experiences of well-being, wholeness and uplift it can give.
