Dancing in the Sky

The London-based artist and designer Morag Myerscough is known for creating bold, brilliantly colored, and geometrically patterned environments that invite interaction and foster a sense of joy, belonging, community, and identity.

For Coachella, she has created an immersive installation that defines a 125-by-125–foot space within the festival grounds — a settlement inspired by the surrounding landscape that draws people in through gateways and surrounds them with brilliantly colored structures of varying heights, some up to 60 feet, providing a skyline that captures the imagination.

Myerscough emphasizes the natural beauty of the sky as part of the work, framing and lighting the active space to create a fantastical, mesmerizing environment — a geometric fairytale chock full of familiar shapes and colors that make everybody feel welcome and at ease.

The kinetic elements dance in the sky within the structures, the abstract moving shapes overhead seeming to take their energy from the activity on the ground and the sun above. The whole space is vibrant and alive, inspiring guests to explore.

At night the installation takes on a glowing aura, offering a magical meeting place for friends amid the darkness of the festival. Myerscough’s work at Coachella conveys a sense of connectivity and freedom, allowing individuals to bring their own meaning to the experience while also enjoying communal sense of belonging.
