How this work was made and presented

Studio portfolio, dated 2021

Separate the sculpture from its lighting equipment

The studio’s portfolio dates Miri to 2021 and describes dichroic acrylic over welded steel, mounted on a reflective steel pedestal. External LED spotlights illuminate the sculpture. The stated weather rating applies to those fixtures, not automatically to the complete artwork, electrical installation or foundation. The sculpture’s current availability and any newer projection treatment require separate confirmation.

A returning programme

THE BLOCKS describes inviting additional works for GLOW after an earlier Gallivan Center presentation. Mírí the Wishing Star joined that expansion, using upcycled iridescent 3form material. The account places it in the programme scheduled through March 2022, showing how a returning seasonal exhibition can support new work.
