LIGHT SOURCE CHANGE

In my first box (Sam) I was experimenting with LED (battery operated) lighting which would fit inside each box to illuminate my artwork. I thought I would hang my pieces on one of the gallery walls and turn on the lights during the opening reception. Then, I started thinking about the following 3 weeks that my work would be open to the public in the gallery. I couldn't be running in all the time to turn on the lights OR replacing the batteries few days. So.....I decided to take Sarah and Catherine's advice to use natural light. I went to Shwayder to talk to Kaitlin about this idea and she showed me 3 windows in the gallery that had curtains pulled across. She pulled back the curtains and I knew that was my best spot! My boxes would be able to utilize the constantly changing daylight--whether the sun is in full force, or behind a cloud, etc. The natural light would provide versatility and act as a vehicle for my pieces to interact with nature.
