Workington Winter Lightworks Festival 2007 aims to brighten up the darkest days of the year by inviting artists to transform shop windows with their light-based artworks.  Installed in Park Fisheries Chip Shop, ‘Solway Sunset’ is a glowing abstract work using layers of translucent coloured Perspex, and horizontal electroluminescent wires to re work a traditional form of painting, the seascape. A map of the lightworks trail can be downloaded from:  www.allerdale.gov.uk/winterlights (at the bottom of the page)
