I was inspired by the artist I did my presentation on and would like to produce a work like his.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 me I have always referred to it as the best studio lighting I’ve ever seen but now I see it as an opportunity. When thinking about what made Peter Erskine’s art, it was all centered around the sun. My first concept is similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My second idea if this one doesn’t pan out would be to attempt the same kind of idea using the artificial light from the lamp posts around campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally my third concept is something completely different. If I am unable to get permission for this exhibit I would love to do some studio photography. My photography tends to be more in the moment rather than planned out and I would love the opportunity to try and perfect my photos. I have this weird shaped glass vase that I put some random cellophane wrapping in and I immediately thought about what it might look like with light shining through it. I would love to explore this concept with other colors of cellophane or other translucent materials to see the effects they produce on the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does anyone know if WPI has a laser cuter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does anyone know who I would contact in order to see if I would be able to try to set up one of the first two installations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the main focus of Peter Erskine’s work was to comment on the environment and clean energy by not using the sun and instead the LED street lamp does it take away from the art?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experiment:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For my experiment I played around with the vase I have as well as coloring the cellophane inside of it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was just using a small IKEA clip-on lamp I have, when I would actually be creating the art I would be using an actual studio light so the light would be much more powerful and hopefully be able to project a clearer image of the inside compared to this one. Overall I was a little underwhelmed with the results of the cellophane I think if I were to continue with this project I would want to try other materials instead, maybe by stripping a plastic bottle or smashing up some colored glass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
