Lighting artist Bruce Munro is delighted to announce that his new installation, Star Turn, will be unveiled at a one-day event in late December, at the Holburne Museum in Bath. The event is in aid of the Help For Heroes rehabilitation centers for wounded soldiers.

Energy efficient par-excellence, Star Turn uses no electricity whatsoever. Twinkling T-lights spin through the air, on a fabulous mechanical contraption powered by riders using pedal-power. Mounted on brackets and encase in borosilicate sleeves, the diminutive candles will be protected as they spin. The installation and its riders will also be protected – under a geodesic dome, within the glorious gardens of the Holburne Museum.

Star Turn references Jules Verne and Heath Robinson, with comic-book mechanics and an old-world, analog aesthetic. Ridden like a bicycle it creates a magical candlelit merry-go-round.
