Creative Access Description
A colour landscape image of works installed in a gallery space with midnight blue walls and cement floors. There are nine 24-inch square tactile acrylic panels engraved with pathways illuminated by coloured light against a black background mounted across two walls. The first six panels each depict a single effect, encapsulating the duration of the ascent, burst, and resulting movement of firework stars into a single frame. These consist of classic firework effects such as Chrysanthemum, Comets, Willow, Dahlia, Palm, and Shell of shells. Also on this wall, to the left of the panels, are didactics of the exhibition in white vinyl lettering. The second set of panels, on the wall to the right, chronologically presents three distinct moments in the lifespan of a single effect: the peony. In the middle of the space is a light wood table with tactile items that suggest distinctive characteristics of firework movements. These include flowers, such as the chrysanthemum, dahlia, and peony, a metal sculpture, and a few other objects that depict the twisted flight path of fireworks.Description
