Zoom

Six Duratran lightboxes
Daliburgh Primary School, South Uist, Western Isles, Scotland, 2012
Commissioned by Sgoilteanura

Zoom is a series of double-sided, photographic lightboxes that have been specially made for the main reception area and corridor of the new Daliburgh Primary School. The photographic imagery focuses on macro views of tiny samples of sand, plants and other particles collected from the Machair and shoreline of South Uist.  We worked with the architect Andrew Marshall of 3D Reid to integrate the lightbox design into the fabric of the new build. An internal light source is housed between the partition wall to enable both sides of the wall to be used.

The artwork was developed in consultation with the whole school. They wanted the new artworks to bring light and colour into the space and to provide a welcoming focal point for the main entrance reception area. After a period of consultation and a week exploring the island, we developed a proposal that embraced some of their aspirations.
