What links an Advent Service
and Morse code?
Munro’s works are largely inspired by his own life
experience, his travels and the people he meets,
but are also deeply influenced by literature. His
interest in developing a way to visually experience
language led him, in recent works, to use Morse
code as a medium for conveying not only the written
and spoken word, but also creative pattern. Light
and language based works have been shown in
the UK and USA. First shown at the Hermitage
Museum and Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia, USA,
October 2014, the installations Ferryman’s
Crossing II and Snow Code were also shown at
Waddesdon Manor last winter. Both explored the
coming together of language, graphic and light.
In December 2014 his installation entitled “Star”
projected a Morse light translation of the New
Testament, (Matthew 2:1-12, Journey of the Magi)
onto the still font water in Salisbury Cathedral
and was used in their Darkness to Light Service.
