Aquila Winter Quartile, 2021

Drawing on star constellations, the work is an exceptional sculptural iteration from Angela Bulloch's body of work known as Night Sky, and is presented wrapped around the gallery’s existing floor-to-ceiling pillar.

The works of the Night Sky series are complex LED pieces that can be hung on the wall or ceiling and that convey an animated image of the night sky.

The blue background of the work is filled with numerous programmed LED lights, placed according to the pattern of three winter horoscope signs: Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn which are referred to in the title as the Winter Quartile constellation. Gently flickering, the points of light simulate the changing starry nightscape.
