Prepare to be captivated by the Trail of Lights, a transcendent experience, allowing connection with both the artwork and the natural environment.
Through the interplay of 12,500 firefly lights, Gone Fishing sculptures, and the natural landscape, Munro invites contemplation and reflection, creating a space for introspection and wonder.
As night falls, this spectacle will turn Lock Island into a must visit destination for both locals and visitors. Don't miss this chance to see art and nature come alive in a whole new way.
An extract from Bruce Munro
Fireflies Installations
I first came up with the form of the Fireflies for a residential commission in 2008. Then the idea to develop the piece further came to me on a bike ride in 2010—I was thinking about the meandering pathway through an installation I had just made called CDSea, and I realised there was a personal connection with the spiritual river described in two of my favourite books, Kim by Rudyard Kipling and Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse.
Gone Fishing Installations
The Gone Fishing installation that will be incorporated around the perimeter of Lock Island will provide a gentle humorous reminder that the said activity beautifully describes the timeless moments we all hanker for!
