Ethereal - the things dreams are made of.

The Field of light installation by Bruce Munro, is so beautiful and ethereal it should have been called field of dreams.

This installation project was installed in October 2008 on the grassy roof of the visitor’s centre at the Eden Project in Cornwall.

“ The field of light  was originally conceived fifteen years ago during a trip through central Australia. The red desert had an incredible feeling of energy; ideas seemed to radiate from it along with the heat. The field of light installation was one idea that landed in my sketch book and kept on nagging at me… it just had to be done” Bruce Munro

How beautiful would an installation of these look in a quiet corner of the garden. A special whimsical place that brings back childhood daydreams of faeries in the bottom of the garden.

Only just recently I realised the importance of surrounding myself with things that I find beautiful and inspiring. This is not a new concept by any means, but I think it has taken on new meaning and importance in the last couple of years. With everything that is going on in the world (fire storms, financial crisis, wars… to name a few) there more and more things that cause stress and anxiety in our lives.  How refreshing to have that little thing; wether it be a painting, a special peice of furniture, a handmade bag or anything else, however simple,  that makes you smile just once a day.
