<<   They Upped Their Game After The Oranges

The Pulse Goes Thready   >>

We Went Down To O'Shea's Wood

We Went Down To O’Shea’s Wood is an immersive, audio-visual, light installation in the Glass Forest room at Elsewhere Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The piece is fully activated in the evening hours, once the sun has gone down, and the vacuum of night beckons calm.

Multi-channel ambient music lulls the viewer to a quietened state. From the ceiling, a series of miniature amber LED lights hang at different levels, reacting to the score. The lights respond to the music conversationally, flickering in an organic fashion and mirrors hung throughout the room bounce and refract light creating the illusion of a starscape or a cathedral filled with candles. Mirrors cover all of the walls with extra mirrors and glass piled on the floor and on armatures in the center of the room. Audiences are invited to move, explore, and lie down in the multi-sensory installation as hundreds of suns nestled in the galaxy reflect infinitely.
​
O’Shea’s Wood, inspired by the Southern Constellations Program, creates a peaceful environment in Elsewhere’s otherwise active building. The installation is a place of respite for Elsewhere residents where the public museum transforms into a private, intimate escape.
