Artist Jyll Bradley with her installation Green/Light part of the Folkestone Triennial launch on 20th of July 2021, in Folkestone, United Kingdom. For Folkestone Triennial 2014, Bradley presented Green/Light (for M.R.), a major sculptural light installation created for the former gasworks site on the junction of Ship Street and Foord Road North, Folkestone. Now derelict, the site was once a hub of energy and the place where light was first generated for the town. The creation of the installation was an intense personal journey for Bradley, who was born in Folkestone in the same year that the gasworks were decommissioned, but has lived her adult life as a successful artist in London. Since its creation, Green/Light (For M.R.) has become a highly acclaimed work and much-loved local beacon. Its reflective, exciting presence acts as a powerful catalyst for conversations on the future of the gasworks. The artwork is part of the Creative Folkestone Triennial 2020, The Plot, which sees 27 newly commissioned artworks appearing around the south coast seaside town. The new work builds on the work from previous triennials making Folkestone the biggest urban outdoor contemporary art exhibition in the UK. (photo by Andrew Aitchison / In pictures via Getty Images)
