Custom Fibre Optics Psycedelic Snails
'Psychedelic Snails’ is a colourful and vivid fibre optic lighting installation where the soft radiant glow of the fibre optics creates enchanting snail trails across the surface. The colour changing and shimmering trails undulate and weave, capturing light in a mesmerising, otherworldly way.
In addition to the glowing trails, each snail shell has been hand moulded from fibreglass with delicate ridges and grooves which, once illuminated mimic the natural spirals and textures of a real shell. The combination of these luminous trails and glowing shells creates a dynamic, immersive visual experience and adreamlike landscape for all ages and abilities to enjoy.
