Keep On Onnin’ is a three-dimensional recreation of a lens flare; the visual phenomenon caught on film that is caused when a sharp light shines on the lens. Described by Hughes as ‘the ghost that haunts visions of summers past’, the lens flare has specific nostalgic connotations. It has especial association with the rosetinted optimism of the hippie era when lens flares cast a magical light on films such as Easy Rider 1969, Woodstock 1970 and were a regular feature of album covers.
