“Dash Away” is an interpretation of Clement Clarke Moore’s poem that we believe encapsulates shared cultural memories of child-like awe, wonder, and trepidation of the night before Christmas. Rather than illustrating the poem literally, we have composed a series of atmospheric elements to evoke the feeling of Christmas. Our two windows operate in dialogue with one another.
​The left contains a landscape of feathers that in the presence of onlookers spiral into a white vortex – an indication of the presence of reindeer taking to the skies. At night, two shafts of light open into the snowscape, filling the space with pure white luminance. One represents a bedroom door slightly ajar and the other an opening to the sky, flooding the space with moonlight.
​In the right window the City of Subiaco becomes a light box, seen from far and above. At night the warm white light of this window illuminates a city that is alive and awaiting quietly “A visit from St Nicholas”.
