Ross Ashton



Description: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/4100350425_063167e592.jpgRoss Ashton is a world renowned projection artist. Most of his work focuses on projecting images and light onto buildings to make it look as though it is part of the architecture.
One of his most notable works is the ‘Crown of Light’ for the Durham Lumiere festival in 2011. The festival comprised of many installations and projections which illuminated the historic buildings in Durham City. For this artwork, Ross used images from the Lindisfarne Gospels – one of the most important books of all time and from the North East of England. These images were accompanied by Gregorian chant.
