Inspiration

When looking at light reflection in art/ interior spaces online I came across Kazue Taguchi, a Japanese artist who uses reflective materials and surfaces within spaces to play off of natural light. For my project that I'm in the process of making my goal is very similar, however I'm using paper as my main material to shadow places and let light through others. I thought about using mirrors or shiny surfaced material but I changed my mind. I love her work though it is really simple but powerful. Here are a few more examples:


These next two are just photos I liked that were taken underwater showing light coming through. They show how water starts to distort things in a beautiful way and the organic, ever-morphing shapes that have inspired my luminaire concept.



General inspiration "collage" of images I really enjoy right now...
