Winter Lights : “ the isle is full of noises”
an installation with sound and light.

Part of the Winter Lights exhibition programme in Jubilee Park, 28 November 2008 – 27 February 2009, presented by Canary Wharf’s Public Art Office in conjunction with curator Ann Elliott. ACT provided technical design for this installation and co-ordination for this project.

Cromer Prospect
A permanent installation on the Cromer Seafront promenade to celebrate Cromer’s lifeboats. Twenty-four up-lit granite 'standing stones' are positioned in an arc looking out to sea and pointing in the direction of a rescue by a named boat.   These are surrounded by flint pebble walls up-lit with brush strokes of soft, coloured light.  ACT provided the technical interpretation and design of this concept. 

Cromer Prospect was managed by Commissions East on behalf of North Norfolk District Council, with support from the Arts Council England Lottery Fund.

Dwelling, Friar Street, Reading
Dwelling is part of Reading's Art at the Centre Programme.  Together with Reading Borough Council's Landscape Architect, David Moore, David Ward identified buildings of architectural and historical interest which they wanted to draw attention to by the addition of lit panes of coloured stained glass.  ACT developed the illumination of specific windows from the inside. The glass panes are illuminated by light boxes controlled by an astronomical clock, using high intensity, low energy, long-life fluorescent tubes to create a consistently bright glow.

Zenith,  New World Square, Bristol
@ Bristol is a Landmark Millennium learning and leisure destination, complemented by public open spaces which feature fountains, light features, sculptures, seating areas, shops, cafes and restaurants. 

Light art work ‘Zenith’ follows the shape of an analemma  (an elongated figure of eight based on an ancient method of timekeeping).  52 lights are embedded in the limestone paving representing the zenith of the sun above New World Square over the course of a year.  At night the lights are programmed to produce a number of free-flowing patterns. 

Technical realisation of David Ward’s concept was by ACT.
