Polymery

Taylor Dean Harrison

Penngrove, CA

Polymery is an installation comprised of five sculptures that cast light and shadow far and wide, creating a patterned field of constantly evolving color mixing on the ground. During the day, the flower-like pods invite the viewer to look upward at the curving, mirrored surfaces to see warped visions of the surrounding environment. At night, the flowers “bloom,” each casting its petals of light far across the ground and inspiring exploration.

Pro Tip

Bath in the light, feel free to stand aside while others pass by to observe the dazzling patterns as they transform the Woodland Garden.

Inside the Installation

Materials: powder coated steel, polished stainless steel, LED light engines, speakers

Polymery’s pods exhibit an artistic abstraction of six-fold symmetry seen in all organic chemistry and many flower structures.

Each light in Polymery emits around 34 times more light than a typical household bulb.

Polymery projects five unique organic patterns onto the ground, drawn by the artist.

It's pronounced pole-lim-mur-ee.
