ABOVE LEFT: The world of exterior illumination is fraught with challenges.
This colorful piece is a client favorite. However, art is not always placed
where it's possible to be lit evenly. After a mock-up, the client still felt that
adding the colors and shapes to the scene were beneficial to the space.
ABOVE RIGHT: Light captures the inquisitive and playful expression of
this beautiful Lalanne bronze sculpture that welcomes guests to this
Pacific Palisades home. Varied light levels, top and boom, accentuate its
clean lines and simple form. The use and creation of shadows are of equal
importance in the final lighting design.
RIGHT: The technique used on this piece was to illuminate the smooth
masonry wall behind the circular sculpture. The piece itself was intentionally
left dark to provide stronger contrast from the wall. Soft shadows soften the
wall and add texture.
