Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Light is something that can really change your perception of space.
You can sometimes avoid costly mistakes. Paint a corner of the room a certain color to see how the light affects it. Or buy just one yard of an expensive fabric to see how you like it in your room.
Lighting is an essential way to change the mood of a room, especially if you can use dimmers.
The style of direction in 'Room,' maybe a little bit like 'Spotlight,' tries to be hidden.
It was still quite light out of doors, but inside with the curtains drawn and the smouldering fire sending out a dim, uncertain glow, the room was full of deep shadows.
I don't want you looking at the light fixture; I want you looking at where light goes. But more than that, I'm interested in the effect of light upon you and your perceptions.
By appreciating the darkness when you design the light, you create much more interesting environments that truly enhance our lives.
A light turned on in a dark room is like receiving a message from God quickly, completely, and all at once.
A room is not a room without natural light.
Generally, we use light to illuminate other things. I like the thingness, the materiality of light itself. So it feels like it's occupying the space, making a plane, being something that was there, not just passing through. Because light is just passing through. I make these spaces that seem to arrest it for our perception.
