As well as developing the ash weaves, I had been talking with Clive Chinnick, of Chinnick Theatre Services, about making a lamp that could be hung amongst the weaves and as the only light source, would caste their shadow on the walls of the gallery. I had also considered much lower lighting with each visitor being given a wind-up torch. This is probably a good time to mention how accommodating and helpful the staff at the Museum in the Park were.
While the idea of people making their own light was appealing, along with the whirring of the wind-up torches, reminiscent of both bird song and light industry, I decided on the option that for me talked about us all being between the sun and the land, all casting our shadows.
