For her exhibition Shadow Play, Grady was commissioned to create a series of artworks in the cafe bar gallery at Chapter Arts Centre. Placed in three different areas of the gallery; the window installations reflect the structure of each of the windows. The artworks are composed from colourful transparent vinyl shapes - their size is determined by the window panes framework. The time based artworks brighten and glow with the changing light of day to cast colour into the room and onto the adjacent surfaces. At times they were more visible in the interior space, only to disappear in the evenings, when they will alternatively be illuminated by the internal lights to reveal a vibrant appearance from outside the building.
The focus on shadows and daylight is a means to connect the interior gallery to the exterior environment. The ever changing artworks seek to encourage the galleries audience to consider the cafe bar with the changing light of day and night. The artworks were part of Chapter Art Centre's annual Experimentica festival exploring on themes of 'time'.
