Description

Pratt’s concept for this work related to the perspective of double meaning, with it symbolising the light from the moon or the light of wisdom (fitting for a research institute).

It is understood, however, that the sculptor did not want a plaque on the work describing what it was, but preferred people to put their own interpretation on it.

The work is able to be accessed by appointment.
