The Marker, West Melbourne
Sky Shimmers is a multi-site light installation located at the Stanley St stairwell entrance and outdoor corridor of The Marker, in West Melbourne. Sky Shimmers draws its inspiration from the interaction of light on the water at the nearby docklands, where the shimmering effects of reflection create a mesmerizing dance of light and refraction. As the sun sets over the horizon the sky transforms through a spectrum of vibrant colours – from the burning reds and oranges to soft pinks and yellows. This daily spectacle of shifting tones is reflected in the design of Sky Shimmers, with each installation capturing the fluidity and changing nature of light and colour.
