Nothing Like the Sun by Hannah Groff & Jason Glenwright

Recycled PVC and solar powered LEDs are manipulated to form this zero power consuming, glowing silhouette of Australia’s most famous architectural structure, the Sydney Opera House. This environmentally friendly piece is charging its solar energy power source during the day to emerge glowing at night and changing as it consumes the solar energy and flickers through its nightlife to eventually turn off for the day.
Visualisation artist Hannah Groff and Queensland theatre lighting designer Jason Glenwright have created Nothing Like the Sun. Groff is a Qld College of Art graduate and Digital Design award winner. She has exhibited in Hamburg, Vermont & Melbourne. Glenwright is QUT Fine Arts graduate and theatre lighting producer with QTC, Bell Shakespeare, La Boite, QPAC and others. He is a multiple Matilda Award nominee, including for Best Emerging Artist.

Web of Light by Ruth McDermott & Ben Baxter

Highlighting the beauty and mystery of a web, cut glass beads refract natural and artificial light to mimic water on a web. It reflects on the battle between nature and the built environment. Where skyscrapers dominate, nature finds a way to create its own structures. The web comes to life with a ray of sun or a pin-point LED on the raindrops defining the unseen to delight day and night.

Her work is in the Powerhouse Museum collection and she has exhibited in Oslo, Seattle, Verona, Tokyo, Milan and Australia. Ben Baxter is an emerging artist specialising in light and public artwork. He has a Fine Arts Degree from COFA, a Masters of Industrial Design from UNSW and is studying a Masters of Illumination Design at Sydney University.

Public Art Pencil by Paul Johnson & Gail Mason
Come On – Give It A Go! This low energy installation allows children and adults alike to draw temporary artwork in laser light on a giant sketchpad. Use the oversized laser pencil to create ephemeral images at night. The glowing images have a life-span of several minutes and as they fade more can be drawn over the top, creating depth.

Paul graduated in Art & Art History at Auckland University, and went on to exhibit internationally, produce commissioned art and teach tertiary art.
