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 bottom,
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.

FACING PAGE BOTTOM: While the property sits directly on the street, a walled-in entry sequence
creates a sense of drama and prThe stark contrast between the nighttime photo of this Segal compared
to the daytimephoto is palpable. Precise fixture placement and light levels energize the piece. The
dramaticshadow lines on the face and body stir emotion and interest, while the softly lit azaleas soften
the view. Distracting elements have disappeared.
