Walk on Water
A dazzling sculptural neon sign by Tim Noble and Sue Webster, *Walk on Water* combines stainless and enamelled steel with glowing neon tubing to create a bold, text-based work charged with bravado and irreverence. The piece employs an electronic light sequencer to produce a three-channel caterpillar effect, animating the phrase with a flickering, hypnotic rhythm reminiscent of vintage Las Vegas signage. Noble and Webster's signature blend of spectacle and dark humor transforms an audacious biblical reference into a monument to self-mythologizing and artistic ambition.
