DESERT SUNRISE
2012

Clouds illuminated by the early morning light drift over Terminal 3 in this fresh take on airport art.

 

ARTIST INSIGHT: This multi-level sculpture is based on water, the life-blood of the desert. In the artwork water appears in several forms: a magnificent cloud that catches the morning light; transparent veils of gently falling rain; a sparkling waterfall; a flowing river that courses across the lower space. “Waterfall”, stainless bead chain, cascades down the window wall into the floor below.
