OLARR is an installation of four sculptures, three mushroom-like sculptures with a swooping seating area and one central swooping seating area. During the day, the ovoid fungal sculptures catch sunlight, casting complex shadows into the many pockets of the structure, while the bodies of the benches glimmer with their glittered golden white paint. At night, the mushrooms feature high power 3D mapped LEDs, lighting the surface of the cells of the sculptures with warping volumetric patterns. The benches glow in sync, revealing a patterned under surface with great visual effect.

Built with Dallas Swindle and Henry Richardson.
