Immersive audiovisual installation · First solo exhibition
Beyond Atmospheres
Beyond Atmospheres is an immersive installation in three parts. It begins with a passage through darkness, opens into a space for contemplation, and ends with the viewer looking up into a moving image of the sky.
The work moves from a narrow opening of light to the warmth of the Sanctuary, then to the diffused light of the Celestial. Each space asks the visitor to change how they move or where they look. The visitor’s presence completes the work.
I / III
The Path
Black velvet curtains lead through a passage that narrows and widens toward a cream-white opening. Movement becomes an encounter with light and perception.
II / III
The Sanctuary
An image of St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh, transformed through smoke and candlelight, occupies the black-box space. Candlesticks, votive candles, a handmade carpet, velvet curtains and a red kneeling cushion create an intimate setting for contemplation.
III / III
The Celestial
Scottish tree branches and clouded sky are projected overhead onto translucent fabric. Visitors lie beneath the moving image and turn their attention upwards.
