As I wrap up the class I really am so proud of everything I’ve done and where I started. Beginnning In the beginning the three projects I were looking at were polar opposites on one hand I wanted to do something on the scale of the campus and on the other I wanted to do…

Polished & Present- All Wrapped Up!
This week I finally got into the little theater and was really able to make my vision come to life. I decided I wanted to use the whole space since I had it and I had enough space so that the light from one work wouldn’t interfere with another. This was the first “work” I…
Everything working: Almost there!
This week I really got my project somewhat complete in composition. Honestly, after last class I was a bit disheartened about my project because I felt like I wasn’t capturing the vision I had in my mind and was beginning to brainstorm other projects I could switch to.

Failure, Recalibration & Iteration: Finding the Right Light

Since freshman year, I’ve noticed that in the Spring and early Fall the side of innovation studios that faces the Bartlet Center reflects so much bright light onto the ground that its almost blinding. To…
Light Artists: Peter Erskine
Tools and Technique: Unfortunately, Erksine does not provide much information about the actual fabrication of the glass and prisms used in his art. However has provided many diagrams, photos, and descriptions about the technology behind his art and art making progress. For each of his works, he first creates a scale model of the space…
Light Exploration Lab: “Thresholds”
While on IQP I had the opportunity to visit the Biennale which is an olympic-esque international art exhibition. The Biennale in art occurs every two years with a different theme, the overarching theme in 2024 was “Foreigners Everywhere”. The pictures and video are from Germany’s exhibit Thresholds which featured multiple giant space ship installations as…
