CHEEKWOOD is now hosting the second-ever North American exhibition of Light, a stunning outdoor art installation by acclaimed British artist Bruce Munro. This exhibit uses an inventive array of materials and hundreds of miles of glowing optic fibers and is open through November 10th.  Munro’s fascination with light as an artistic medium has transformed Cheekwood’s beautiful gardens into an enchanting, dream-like landscape. This site-specific exhibition follows a wildly popular U.S. debut at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, and has been uniquely designed by the artist to incorporate Cheekwood’s gentle hills, expansive views and magnificent gardens. At the center of the exhibition’s many installations is the Field of Light, which submerges the viewer within a landscape of 20,000 lighted glass spheres, each rising from the ground on a slender stem. The sheer volume of spheres, the glow of the lights and the gentle shapes create an effect that is both natural and otherworldly. Cheekwood is offering extended hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings until 11 pm to present this grand-scale exhibition in its most stunning state: under the night sky.

McAlpine Residence- Bountiful

McAlpine- “The Shack”

Bobby McAlpine was born in the Alabama sawmill town of Vredenburgh near Beatrice and Monroeville, Bobby designed his first house at the age of five and hasn’t stopped since.   He is an architect, romantic, and entrepreneur, who has gathered an eclectic family of professionals for his interior design firm, furniture line and world-renowned widely-published architecture firm now in its 29th year. Bobby is the author of the best-selling book from Rizzoli International, The Home Within Us.

Ray Booth is an Alabama native and a graduate of the Auburn University School of Architecture. His affiliation with the company began during a student internship. After a successful pursuit of his career in New York working for such respected names as John Saladino, he returned to the south as a business partner in the interior design firm with his former professor Bobby McAlpine. Ray divides his time between the firm’s Nashville office and his home in New York which he shares with his partner John. His eager mind and energetic spirit are fed, not only through his demanding work and interaction with clients, but through his frequent travels and personal adventures. Ray finds great perspective keeping one foot in the fast lane of the big city and other in his native slower paced south.

Susan Ferrier is a native New Yorker who found herself graduating from interior design school in the deep south. Her varied life experience has caused her to be an exceptionally intuitive and perceptive designer, all of which led to a partnership with Bobby and Ray in the year 2000. Susan oversees her projects, with great humor and respect, through her Atlanta-based office of the firm. She and her husband, Adrian, a native of New Zealand, spend their free time either traveling or planning the next trip, so much so that their passports read like the table of contents of National Geographic. Susan and Adrian make their home just outside Atlanta.
