All Lit Up! by artist and designer Anna Lomax is a celebratory site-specific work for this year’s Christmas tree installation. Taking the columns in the V&A’s Dome as inspiration, the design manipulates the solid structure of the column into the form of a tree, embodying the playful, celebratory spirit of the Christmas period. The design creates a parallel between the elegance of an evergreen conifer tree and the strength of a column, referencing Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s popularisation of the Christmas tree. The installation uses light as its central medium, which is playfully animated throughout the day to bring magic and sparkle to the festive period.
Artist and designer Anna Lomax brings her bold and playful aesthetic to life through set design, immersive installations, objects and editions. Her practice is rooted in pop culture and the concept of the ‘readymade’, and projects are characterised by the use of unlikely objects and textures, injecting humour and fresh perspectives into familiar environments.
