Light studies using screens from assignment 1.

In the previous assignment, I experimented with paper and origami techniques.  I liked the result of the screen where I had use both origami techniques and linear cuts in the watercolor paper.  I found that the object with the different heights of the folds created more interesting shadows onto itself than it creating shadows on a surface.  With a strong enough light, a surface glow is also emitted, with the light escaping from the linear cuts.  I can see this screen, after being developed more, can become a very nice lamp shade.  I think I am going to experiment with different materials and opaqueness to see how I can filter and control light, and maybe figure out how i can bounce it onto another surface that will change as the light source or the viewer is moving around it.

I like the effect that James Carpenter created using structural glass prisms.  It has this sort of mystical quality reflecting light, the sky, clouds, the trees outside and is constantly changing with the movement of the sun.
