Project Description
Artist Robert Owen and lighting designers Electrolight were selected by
the Arts Centre, through the Maxwell and Merle Carroll bequest, to
create two major works of art for the two new foyer areas at the
redeveloped Hamer Hall. 'Silence' consists of seven crystal encrusted,
tubular stainless steel sculptures of varying sizes suspended from the
existing concrete slab above. 'Falling Light' is a large perforated
aluminium panel fixed to the ceiling with over one thousand LED lights
situated behind that are programmed to project numerous constellations beyond the
panel. MacLeod Consulting worked with Robert and Electrolight in
determining suitable structural loadings, appropriate member sizes, and
the required connections to the existing structure.
