Commissioned by The Hour Glass Australia, the 'Temporal Grid' art installation is grounded in the principles of precision, repetition, order, time, and place, creating a dynamic interplay between art and functionality.
Inspired by Adelaide’s iconic grid layout, this expansive installation mirrors the city’s structured dimensions, seamlessly connecting the concept to the store’s location and embedding it within the local context.
It comprises 285 suspended forged textured glass panels in seven sizes, meticulously crafted to ensure exactitude and uniformity, utilising a total glass area of 60 square meters with zero waste.
Among these, 36 are etched with Roman numerals, reflecting the 12 hours of a clock.
Enveloped by vibrant RGBW LEDs, the installation breathes life into its surroundings, transforming into a dynamic kaleidoscope of colours that mimic the living urban landscape.
'Temporal Grid: A Fusion of Precision and Artistry' is not just an art installation but a statement of excellence and a
celebration of time. This proposal aligns perfectly with The Hour Glass’s commitment to horological mastery and provides
an opportunity to create a distinctive ambience that will leave a lasting impression on customers.
A heartfelt thankyou to The Hour Glass team for choosing our proposal, James Harper from BrookingHarper who set the challenge whilst providing unwavering support throughout the project, and Michael Straughair from the Barrett Group PTY LTD for championing the installation. It's been an honour to work with you all and bring our vision to light.
