Programme

Ross Harris’s luminous ‘There may Be Light’ begins this programme of works inspired by ideas of light and light phenomena. Glen Downie’s ‘Light Speckled Droplet’ is a musical realisation of light refracted and reflected in water droplets, while Salina Fisher’s Murmuring Light’ is inspired by an art installation by Studio Drift, made up of swarms of luminous glass tubes. The programme ends with Karlo Margetić’s ‘Lightbox’, a set of wild, overlapping variations, inspired by overlapping images on a photographer’s lightbox.
