Let Them Feel The Light

Emma Coulter’s ‘Let Them Feel The Light’ is an integrated, site-specific, public art commission, recently completed for Coffs Harbour’s new civic and cultural centre, Yarrila Place.

Existing at the heart of the building, the work traverses the light filled atrium space, dispersing colour and illumination, in acknowledgment of the meaning of Yarrila, whilst also drawing inspiration from Coffs Harbour’s geographic coastal location. Through the artist’s voice these ideas intersect with concepts of memory, time and feeling to culminate into a unique site-specific work.

The striking faceted artwork comprised from painted alminum, coloured glass and LED panels spanning 12 metres high x 10 metres wide climbing up over 25 metres, wrapped around a curved wall flowing over 3 stories.
