Commissioned by The Royal Shakespeare Company, the installation is made up of 2000 hand-folded metal stars.

The artist took inspiration from the many references to stars in Shakespeare’s writings.

The 2000 stainless steel stars are suspended from the ceiling to form a 3m tall (over 9 feet tall), three-dimensional human face.

Surrounding the face are more metal stars, which loosely reflect the position of the constellations on Shakespeare’s birthday.

The installation sits in the newly-restored Swan Wing, the oldest part of the RSC’s theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon.
