Each bottle contained an individual coloured LED bulb and battery, The bottles were then installed onto a 8ft x 12ft high cube of MDF board forming a multicoloured octagonal pattern. This was part of the Artist Trail for the music festival.

The Water Cycle Lightbox Installation Culture Night 2017

The theme of the light box installation for Culture night at Siamsa Tire 2017 was based on the local water cycle, the community of Tralee, Co Kerry were asked to respond on small pre cut perspex squares 25" x 25" with paints. The squares were then slotted into the light box tower which we constructed before the event and when all the panels were completed the tower was hoisted up in the centre of the gallery forming a lighted tower installation. There were 70 panels in total completed over a three hour period.
