Description:
The Sainsbury Laboratory is a plant research centre completed in 2011, set in the University of Cambridge's Botanic Garden.
Four Starburst have been set at ground level within the paving in the central courtyard. Water is jetter from below and bursts onto dics of glass, where the droplets cling on and travel outwards, eventuallu=y drop away. A beam of light is directed upwards within the jet and a ring of LED lights around the circumference, with programmable colour changes, illuminate the water across the glass.
I was one of three artists commisioned to make an artwork for the Laboratory, which was designed by Stanton Williams Architects.
