Blue lights on the runway ...

Just a quick picture I took on my way home one night after college. I thought the reflection of the light on the water was beautiful and the blue colour of the artificial lights makes it interesting, enjoy!

Candlight and Sunlight

I think my eyes are really opening up to seeing the art all around me - finally! On our kitchen table at home there is a candle sitting in a shaped glass jar. At dinner last Sunday, on a rare day when the sun was splitting the stones, I noticed a pattern the smoke from the candle created on the table as a result of the combination of light, glass and smoke, I felt it showed the movement of light in a unique way. I have a short video for ye - beware that it is very faint at times and ignore the busy kitchen sounds, Let me know what you think:

Here comes the light ...

I was at a wedding not to long ago and due to my recent obsession with light, i found the light from the candeliere, stage and candles really interesting. Never mind the bride, I was taking pictures of the lights !!! haha.

I really like the patterns the light and shadows formed on the ceiling



The lights of th candeliere were almost dancing



The candles

Road Trip!!

Recently we took a trip to the capital to visit the Dublin Contemporary exhibit. It was collection of a huge variety of artists spread across the city - from large galleries to street art, it had it all!. It was really interesting and I especially enjoyed the Earlsfort Terrace section. Unfortunately due to technical difficulties ( IE: an old camera using AA batteries that seem to run out quite frequently), I only have a few photos to share - better than nothing I suppose - enjoy!!!

Photo inspired by Egypt that spun on the wall



Hannah Montana - kinda - sorry for the blurriness



Paintings with added beads and materials - I really liked these!

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.
