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 />
