Flow: the weir

Fibre optic lighting in the weir
Detail of the weir Element of 'Flow'. A 3 part sculpture, comprising of; underwater lighting installation in a weir, lighting effects for four submerged ventilation apertures, and a chaotic sculpture located above the canal.
The waters of the weir are illuminated at night by fibre optic tails, that trace a design in the shallows and spill into the cascade as seperate minute points of bright light.
