Mini Rave

To capture the movement of artificial light, I headed to the pound shop to buy glow sticks and mini bike lights. In a dark room I moved them quickly while taking photos - my own little rave haha. I also cut open a glow stick to write with it on paper - lets just say my desk still glows sligthly in the dark, and my bin looked like nuclear waste after I tried to clean up the green glow liquid haha.

Good aul Irish Weather ...

To focus more on natural light i took some pictures of the sky - but due to the lovely weather we get here in Ireland they were just grey squares. Lucky the sun appeared later on in the day so a few nice pictures were achieved.

And so it continues...

Im interested in positives and negatives so I cut these pages to represent a beam of light as if from a spotlight.

From a previous page of words that are accociated with light and dark, I tried to represent some of these words in fonts that capture their meaning ie. the word bright in bright yellow. For the word radiance i cut a stencil of the word and taped it to my computer screen in front of a youtube video of a bright light and to get a "radient" glow - it kinda worked...

A little bit of work with shadows - the blue image always reminds me of peter pan when he tried to sew his shadow on haha

An accidental experiment led to these prints of what i think look like light spectrums - they were pages I was using as a paint pallete that i folded and unfolded.- I just like all the colours

Also a painting I did of white light through a prism into a spectrum - this light thing gets a bit science-y at times.
