Contours

Finalist 2018

Contours is a site-specific light installation sitting at the heart of Tableau Software’s new Seattle HQ, exploring themes of nature and discovery in a nod to the data visualization techniques Tableau is famed for.

The contoured lines that make up the composition have been designed to represent the reversed topography of Washington’s most famous landmark: Mount Rainier. The piece brings the outdoors in, while suggesting the sense of curiosity and discovery found at the heart of man’s fascination with mountain ranges and the conquering of their summits.
