Heofon from the Old English Dictionary, meaning 'the sky, the firmament, the heavens'. 

An international collaboration. Heofon is directed in the UK by Aaron Andrews. 

The installation was designed by Ben Busche of Brut Deluxe, manufactured by Ilmex Illumination Global in association with ARRO Lighting. 

Aaron was aware of the original light maze concept exhibiting at an art and light festival over in China early in 2017. His vision was introduce a similar concept to the UK. After months of planning, Heofon Light Maze was realised and exhibited for the first time in Leeds at the Art and Light festival, Light Night Leeds in October 2017 in association with LeedsBID.

The installation consists of a maze based on a triangular geometry and built of 23 2.20m high panels of acrylic glass. A dichroic film glued to one side of the acrylic glass converts the panels in semi-transparent and reflects and shifts the light rays along the entire colour range of a rainbow while the spectator moves in the installation. 

On the other side of each acrylic glass sheet, a specifically created pattern of grooves is mechanically carved in. The grooves are illuminated by powerful LED rails with subtly shifting colours located in the inferior and superior framework. The panels on the outer perimeter are provided with a mirror film converting the interior in an infinity room, a unique cosmos of overlapping light patterns and constantly changing colours.
