BOURRASQUE

Bourrasque : Paul Cocksedge, Lyon
Bourrasque is a sculpture installed in the courtyard of hotel in lyon for the city’s annual festival of lights. the 200 suspended sheets were made from an electrically conductive material that lights up when a current passes through it. london designer paul cocksedge molded each sheet of paper by hand – the paper is the same size as a sheet of a3 paper.

Wish I was in Lyon, France to see this beautiful light sculpture ....

The light installation looks perfectly cheering for this time of year when it's so dark.
