Slow Furl is a playful environment that engages the physical presence of its guests. Users are invited to touch or sit within its soft skins. As they do they feel the slow pulse of its movements. As a landscape, a cloud formation or an ice wall, it forms and reforms around the body of its user.
Slow Furl is a room size textile installation that acts and reacts on its inhabitation. The installation exists as a soft and pliable skin that lines the Lighthouse space. The skin shifts. As guests enter and move within the foyer, the skin moves, creating new cavities and spaces, revealing slits and apertures.
