‘Mute Meadow’ 60 steel columns, six to eight metres in height. During daylight hours are in perpetual transformation according to the changing natural light conditions. With the diminishing natural light, the LED lit columns, they become an immense floating field of light of changing intensity.
This elegant and rich work will be located adjacent to the River Foyle, on the 26-acre historic site, one of 2 former army bases being redeveloped by Ilex the Urban Regeneration Company for Derry~Londonderry. The ‘Meadow’ will begin on the former Parade Ground at Ebrington, forming a pathway leading down to the riverbank where its presence will extend to form a ‘forest’ of light.
