Our brand new commission opened Friday 11th March at @wentworth_woodhouse as part of the ‘We Wonder Noir’ event – It was one of many brilliant peices that lit up this amazing Grade I listed building.

This new sound and light installation, celebrates the Ash tree, asks us what we need to do in the face of challenges and is the start of a new body of work mixing sustainability with more tech.

We’ve made an idea we’ve been brewing for 3 years and taken our interactive sound and light tech collaboration with Vasthu to the next level.

The sound track is a beautiful 12 minute composition by Eleanor and Kate Griffin who have been working together on Eleanor’s DYCP and the sculpture was supported by Pete’s DYCP learning how to use steam bent Ash to make outdoor light work then manage and develop the tech.

We are gathering co-commissioners to support making this R&D version more enveloping (ie bigger) so please do let us know if this sounds inviting. The future will see us using these techniques to make a distributed but centrally animated installation.
