Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, stars
This artwork was hung above a walkway at Circular Quay during the Vivid Sydney festival. The spatial installation takes the theme of this yea's festival "Let there be Light" to hark back to the beginning of time, before city light pollution dimmed our view of scattered stars. "Crystallized" was created by Andrew Daly and Katharine Fife from 4000 edge-lit acrylic, recyclable rods like a canopy of glittering stalactites in a cave. The programmed LEDs gave a fluctuating colourful abstraction of a starry night sky that you could wander beneath.
Jim, simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome! Like.
ReplyDeleteAustralia puts us to shame when it comes to supporting public art.
ReplyDeleteA great theme "Let There be Light" for this amazing exhibition - it has certainly been a treat with a wealth of creative art-works! Well captured.

ReplyDeleteWhen did it do that. I thought it was only pale pink/silver.
ReplyDeleteAnn, it was interesting that you needed to hang around to see the changes with some of these artworks.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures of this installation.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Jim, it kind of reminds me of one of those things that you stick your face or hand or something in and it keeps the shape, do you know what I mean? Looks amazing.
ReplyDeletePerthDailyPhoto, yes I know exactly what you mean. It did look a bit like one of those, on a large scale.
