Heaven’s Gate

Heaven’s Gate is based on the image of a cardboard box from the recycling bin at the Mount Pleasant’s Buy Low grocery store. The cardboard box hangs behind a shadow screen, lit by coloured lights that project a slowly turning, jewel-like image on the screen. Part mobile, part shadow puppet, the humble box opens the way to another dimension. If Mount Pleasant’s Kingsgate Mall experience is about the practical world of everyday life, Heaven’s Gate is about another world, the unfolding of the infinite and the miraculous hidden in the material.
