Prelude

2008-10

In 2008 Porteous was commissioned to turn the Atrium site’s construction fence into an artwork. It would be called Prelude, the first part of a three-part concept. Developed in parallel with the Big Red Box, this artwork became an ephemeral local landmark during the months of construction, and would eventually become one of the permanent artworks within the building. Prelude was a vision of abstract shapes that would shift hues in relation to one another against the black background, exploiting the reflections of rainbow pigments that changed colour depending on the angle of view.
