Statement of intent:
Animating the seawall after the sunset. Rather than uniformly lighting empty space in the attempt to recreate daylight, embracing the night as a stage on which to present luminous displays. Lighting objets, revealing existing shapes and textures (trees, walls, logs, sand, grass, paving, etc.) to create ambient settings. There interventions should neither significantly obscure the view nor alter the daytime landscape.
Inspiration:
The enchantment of the fireworks over English Bay does not end with the last sequence of explosions... One is first witness to a silent procession of lights gliding over the water. They move as an entity, all green or all red, depending on one's vantage point. Each light the soul of a vessel returning to it sheltered mooring. With this gesture the spell has lifted. The bay returns to an ink black state calmly reflecting the lights of the city.
Inviting artists to paint the night of the seawall with their inspirations of light...
