Chromatic
Chromatic Cycle is a public art commission for Battersea Exchange, developed in collaboration with art & architecture studio Dallas-Pierce-Quintero (D-P-Q).
The artwork takes the form of an optical illusion, composed of an arrangement of colour changing lines of light, suspended from the surface of the arch. From the entrance on Queenstown Road, these lines come together to form a composition of a deconstructed clock face. From this viewpoint, the lines of light curve to correspond with the 15-minute segments of a clock face – quarter past, half past, quarter to, and on the hour. At their respective times, these curves glow white to indicate the time within the hour.
