The Light that Lasts Exhibition

A new partnership between Roseberry Road Studios and Dorothy House Hospice Care, will launch at an exhibition entitled The Light that Lasts. The arresting collection contains images of internationally acclaimed light-based artist and Dorothy House Ambassador, Bruce Munro's immersive, worldwide installation.

"The Light that Lasts is an exhibition of images that capture moments in time and spectacles of light that have passed. It offers a space to reflect on those whose love remains with us and contemplate light amidst the darkness of winter."  Bruce Munro – Award winning, international light installation artist. 

Death, Art and Bereavement Support unite in new partnership 

Created to celebrate Dorothy House's 50th Anniversary and the launch of this exciting new partnership between the hospice charity and Roseberry Road Studios, the exhibition is the first step towards the provision of art-based sessions to support the community in bereavement. 

Art Ambassador – Bruce Munro 

Bruce's relationship with Dorothy House began in 2021 with his generous donation of the Firefly light installation to the Winsley estate grounds. This relationship grew in 2023 with a doubling in size of the Firefly woods; opened as part of a Royal visit from Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, who accepted a Firefly in memory of her mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. 

Bruce is best known for immersive large-scale light-based installations inspired largely by his interest in shared human experience. Recording ideas and images in sketchbooks has been his practice for over 40 years. By this means he has captured his responses to stimuli such as music, literature, science, and the world around him for reference, reflection, and subject matter.   

This tendency has been combined with a liking for components and an inventive urge for reuse, coupled with career training in manufacture of light. As a result, Munro produces both monumental, temporary experiential artworks as well as intimate story-pieces.
