Field of Light
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Field of Light is a large scale lighting installation created by lighting designer Bruce Munro.
The Field of Light is made up of over 15,000 separate lights. These are 'Planted' in a variety of environments, the sculpture slowly changes colour, creating a shimmering field of light.[1]
Field of Light was originally conceived fifteen years ago, when Bruce Munro took a trip through central Australia. The red desert had an incredible feeling of energy; ideas seemed to radiate from it along with the heat. The field of light installation was one idea that landed in Bruce’s sketch book and refused to dislodge from his mind.[2]
The Field of Light has been installed in a number of places:
- Harvey Nichols department store, London, during London Fashion Week 2004.[3]
- Victoria and Albert Museum, London, February 2004.[4]
- Long Knoll, Wiltshire 2005.[1]
- Eden project, Cornwall 2008-2009.[5]
- Holburne Museum, Bath 2011-2012.
- Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, June-October 2012.
