Sunset Trace

Sunset Trace — skynet art series in Laguna Beach, USA.

Laguna Art Museum presents Sunset Trace, an outdoor art installation on display from November 5 through November 15, 2020.

In collaboration with the City of Laguna Beach, the museum has commissioned the site-specific work of art for Art & Nature. The multicolored kinetic sculpture will be installed off Main Beach over Main Beach Park. Entitled Sunset Trace, it will seamlessly weave through the palm trees along the shoreline, traversing sections of the walkways and cliffs between the gazebo and Main Beach in a stunning, windburn display. Sunset Trace is an outdoor art installation on view from November 5 through November 15, 2020.

Inspired by the graceful murmuration of birds flocking together, or schools of fish coalescing and moving simultaneously, Patrick Shearn’s signature Skynet Series is a constant reminder of nature moving around us. Suspended using transparent monofilament netting and rigged inconspicuously, the undulating forms appear to levitate in midair. Finessed by the unique wind patterns of each site, these outdoor art pieces reveal unseen natural wind elements in unusual, dramatic ways.
