Ideas to Form V - Impact of light





Printing onto acetate to experiment on the influence of changing light on the image.
Suspended across the front of the light-box set to transitional coloured lighting (fibre optic) I have made this short film to demonstrate the visual illusion and how colour can transform and change what we see.

'a retrospective'

Playing with light, colour and visual perception is fascinating, my inspiration comes from studying the light sculpture works of James Turrell, yes I love to set my sights and ambition high!!!!!  (see exhibitions). 







'the wolfsberg project'
James Turrell

His mastery of the scientific theory of how colour and intensity of light interacts with our rods and cones. The interplay between both plays with our powers of perception result - breathtaking. His ability to sculpt with light takes his work to such a high level of genius, Im in awe!.

What I need to decide is how good can I been at this lighting ? Is this something I want to pursue further - if I do it I need to do it well......




With an exhibition looming I need to concentrate on developing and exploring imagery - strip things back a bit, and not try to over complicate my work. Decision made that unless the lighting can be seamless and uber professional Im not going down that path at the moment but its most definitely something Im going to pick up later.
