A spokesperson says---

"...The exhibition features... Line Describing a Cone... Over the course of thirty minutes, a single projected line slowly traces the outline of a circle, forming a... cone that gradually materializes within a haze-filled room. Rather than watching a projected image on a screen, viewers enter the beam itself, walking through, around, and inside a volume of light...

The exhibition also features Skylight, 2020, a vertical solid-light installation... Projected from above onto a plinth, the work produces a slowly shifting cone of light that can be experienced from every angle. Accompanied by an original score by... composer David Grubbs, Skylight evokes the gradual approach and recession of an imagined thunderstorm through distant rumbles, flashes of lightning, and the steady rhythm of falling rain...

Swarm, 2026, McCall's most recent work... draws on the rising significance of drones as an increasing presence in daily life. The installation is composed of two conical-light volumes that rotate slowly in opposite directions, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise, over a duration of fifteen minutes. Accompanying the... visuals is a... soundscape that gradually intensifies..."
