artist statement

the rhythmic thud that echoes from our vital core. our beat, there to be felt by delicate touch … there to be heard from the depths of our chest … there to be seen, a throbbing visible beneath tender skin. the predominant indicator of our moment-to-moment being, our wellbeing even, outwardly discernible.

as such at Federation Square, the great public space for shared experience at the Melbourne's very heart, there beats an assuring monumental pulse in the form of light. surged by some social groundswell perhaps, it spills out without sound through perforated façade, with gentle coloured light reflected upon the people nearby, as though all subtly unified.

the City stirs, vital and alive …
