Falling for Fireworks.

An outdoor installation curated by Natasha Smith and Megan Cope in collaboration with UAP for the Art with Altitude Festival, Brisbane. It was one of the largest works I’ve made to date . The woven canopy was suspended between two buildings over a walkway.

Inspired by the concept of being immersed in tiny explosions of fireworks in the sky,Falling for Fireworks will also animate notions of mapping, history and navigation. With fire being one of the four elements in ancient philosophy and astrology, this installation seeks to imaginatively portray and amalgamate these ideas. Constructed from vibrantly coloured nylon ropes and synthetic materials, the artwork will employ traditional craft-based techniques such as macramé, knitting and basketry weaving for its construction. Knotted and netted in vivid colours, the work will be suspended within Airport Village’s Spine creating a captivating and colourful canopy.
