"LUCENT (2015), commissioned by The Hearn Company, derives its name from the Latin 'lucere' meaning 'to shine'. Created by internationally-renowned sculptor Wolfgang Buttress, this artwork represents the 3,106 brightest stars visible with the naked eye in the northern hemisphere. Simple and elegant, LUCENT measures 14' in diameter and is illuminated by fibre-optics to create an ambient, pulsing glow."
