Work Overview
In this work, phosphorescence refers to a sparkling luminosity emitted by living organisms in the ocean (bioluminescence), in intermittent glowing specks when the water is stimulated. The experiences expressed in Phosphorescence recall superb and soul-stirring moments, speaking of how beautiful, vigorous and alive our planet is when we look at it up close.
This work was commissioned by the APRA/AMC Art Music Fund
