This installation was created<br />
as the precursor to the final<br />
project Caustic Catalyst. It<br />
harnesses the properties of<br />
caustic light by directing the<br />
projection of light rays<br />
through a bent surface of a<br />
clear or reflective object.<br />
The objects, in this case, are<br />
clear and reflective acrylic<br />
pieces. Each piece was<br />
originally strung on a piece<br />
of wire vertically in order to<br />
create rhythm and<br />
consistency in the project.<br />
When constructed, the<br />
pieces were attached<br />
horizontally in order to<br />
maintain the rythm while still<br />
maintaining the rigidity of<br />
the formal attributes of the<br />
system. This lighting system<br />
incorporates the caustic<br />
phenomenon as a layer of<br />
material that is only apparent<br />
when light activates it. The<br />
shifting form of shadow and<br />
caustics demarks a space of<br />
rapid movement and<br />
creativity.<br />
