    "Since I was sixteen I have jotted ideas into a sketch book. I have kept these books in the hope that one day they may contain a spark of inspiration," says Munro. "At forty, just after my father died, I realised that the time had arrived to create my own work, and I had just enough confidence and experience to give it a go."

    Munro says that the installation was inspired by the view outside of a lodge room in Scotland. "It was raining in squalls against the plate glass window. The view was distorted by rivulets of water streaming down the (9 x 4 metre) panoramic pane. The words “light and shower” registered in my mind and I had my idea."
