The Skyharp project strives to revitalise mankind’s attempt to create an environment which links the cosmos to the landscape and which encapsulates scientific concepts of time and space expressed as sculptural art. This project strives to celebrate mankind’s attempt to create an environment which links the cosmos to the landscape expressed as sculptural art. By and large today when people think of the environment, we think of trees, rivers and the ocean. There is so much more. The solar system is also intrinsically linked to the dynamics of the terrestrial landscape. This sculpture interacts with the environment. With the movement of the sun, the changing light reflects the subtle colors and atmospheric hues. Shadows mark time depicting both the summer and winter solstice as well as the equinox. As a functioning sound instrument, the sculpture creates its own individual music using the changing velocity of the wind. This concept draws upon ancient philosophies and seeks to revitalise in the wider community the importance of this early science and cosmological thought. view website>>
