Falling Light, 2011 - 2012 Aluminium and LED lights, 635 x 437cm Artist: Robert Owen and Fine Art Studio in collaboration with Electrolight Collection Arts Centre Melbourne, Victoria Australia Photography: John Gollings
Falling Light provides another layer of meaning to Roy Grounds’ and John Truscott’s conceptual exploration of geology as a basis for the architecture and design of Hamer Hall.
On the level below the work Silence in Hamer Hall, Falling Light emerges like an X-ray or memory of a subterranean image of silver crystal. A cosmos of stars glitters through the perforated surface image with occasional shafts of light punctuating the undulating array.
