Since 2003 Mary-Anne has been using her skills in both lighting design and music in 'Atmospheres' - a project that she describes as 'an exploration of the ethereal qualities of light and music compositions through the theme of sustainable design.' During the period of her Fellowship she will be applying 'Atmospheres' in a very large scale multi-disciplinary project called the Smart Light Sydney Festival ­ using light, design and, of course, music. Mary-Anne is the director of the Festival, and will be both commissioning and writing new compositions for it. She will also be composing three works for performance at 72 Erskine where she is presently Artist in Residence
