Dappled: IDS Vancouver Feature Installation 2022

Designed as the central bar feature for the IDS Vancouver show in 2022, Dappled was a reflection on life’s enhanced interactions with nature post pandemic. With Covid-19 clearing our calendars, and closing almost everything but the great outdoors, nature became a place to escape.

In reference to one of nature’s most delicate yet powerful performances, the display of dappled light animates its canvas with the projection of a flickering pattern as sunlight filters through the trees. ‘Dappled’ describes the physical space of this installation, but also refers to an enhanced appreciation for the outdoors, gained through the pandemic experience.
