| The
lighting of any artwork is always an enjoyable experience
and this particular sculpture was great fun to illuminate.
The idea of providing completely different lit effects
at the touch of a button was formulated early in the
design process and a series of techniques were established.
The
sculpture is backlit from a floor-mounted fixture providing
a silhouetted form, front lit from a narrow beam recessed
downlight in the ceiling and further revealed with candles
around its base. In addition on party nights an oil
wheel projector replaces the normal backlighting to
create a coloured dynamic. Each component can be used
individually or in combination, that together with the
dimming provide an infinite number of potential lighting
scenarios. |
