Arborialis
Arborialis has the natural world for inspiration. Immersion in an arboreal world of tree-like forms and abundant leaf motifs.
Arborialis, as the name suggests, is dedicated to the theme of ‘trees’. Trees can be seen in structural forms and in graphic representation. Arborialis echos aspects of being lost in a forest – there are radiant canopies of leaves that stretch overhead, there are vibrant tree trunks rising from the ground beneath.
The Main Dome frames the leaf motif in a magnificent cupola that references the form of the Islamic mosque domes that are one of Alan Parkinson’s primary sources of inspiration. The visual world of Arborialis is enhanced by the natural and spiritual sounds of the Song of Danu created by Irish composer Dr Michael Morris.
