The dark side

Played with spot-lights; nasty orange and harsh glare but created dramatic shadows when held close to fabric:

Such a different mood when it's lit up! Moody and dramatic. Sort of conjures up the darker side to Penbryn coast-line and the sea.

Small LED down-lights placed inside the sculpture. Too dark, but gives an eerie glow. Also blue light nicer than orange.

At college, used Mac room to rehang sculpture and play with projecting film footage over the top. The light from the projector bathed it in cool blue, and made the crystal bits twinkle in the organza. The sound-track added atmosphere but not sure if the "wind and paper" sound quite right for this. The film footage got lost when cast large over entire structure. Am going to take projector home and try casting small, intense projection behind sculpture, so that you have to walk through and under it to see it clearly. Then I'll need spot-lights to light sculpture itself. Hmmm...
Really different mood now to previous light, airy, serene feel. Loads of potential to explore completely new ground. Quite exciting.
I'm going to be given an enclosed black "box" for my installation so there's potential for a complete, intense "experience".
When I look at the photos of my sculpture cast in shadow, it seems almost threatening, and it kind of reminds me of the hostile, frightening side to the ocean: how in a few seconds it can switch from being something exciting and exhilerating to something overwhelming and monstrous.
That little sunny clip of my wind sculpture dancing against blue skies is a complete contrast; I'd want it to be tiny and intense, a jewel of a moment. But almost overshadowed by the threat of that morning.
