Temporal Change/ 1994/5   The Douglas Hyde Gallery and IMMA, Dublin, Ireland

A composition that balanced constructed order and untouched stillness, it suggested a journey of discovery from human-made confinements to expansive openness.

At the Douglas Hyde we incorporated sixty illuminated cast plaster forms produced on-site, a fourteen-meter plaster construction in two-meter back-lit striplight segments, collage photographs bounded with clear silicon of fig trees wet with rain documented at night, a multilayered soundtrack of that rain on those trees ripe with fruit and six glass water tanks, one filled with blue pigment and all containing a sealed illuminated photograph.

One of my first responsive lighting systems that responded to the daylight levels outside the space, mimicked this lux level within the installation itself, using none of the in-house lighting.
