yay lights

What i did: I put together plexiglass cubes to get a feel for whether i liked that project solution. I put double layered color photographs in one with white light on the inside. for the other cube i put red light inside and held a black and white photo transfer up to it. I got feedback on both that was very helpful.






what i discovered: that i dont want to make photo cubes! i decided i'd prefer the viewer to be able to see all the images in a series at one time. i also discovered that the glare problem i was complaining about with the texture of the gel is invisible when the print is illuminated! which is awesome for my purposes.

what's next: stephanie and i discussed a lightbox i could make in order to test how different types/colors of light some through photos and transfers. i think this is important for my decision making process so that's what im working on.

here's that dock lamp with blue bulbs in it that i never posted before

  1. Looks like you're testing things out and being decisive about what you like and don't like. Great. Let me know how it goes making the light box. I'd love to see more images illuminated.

    Which images are you using? Are you taking new images? I'm excited to see things in person- looks like you're moving along well-
    Talk to you soon,
