light series 2 | north carolina museum of art

i'm still scratching my head trying to figure how i could make the lighting better. the lighting throughout the galleris in the museum is soft spot lighting that casts a gentle "focal glow" on the art pieces.

beautiful! i love this place!! the shadows created are just as interesting as the art pieces.


light is used as a wayfinding device to the facilities--bright white/blue down lights flood the walls in the facility corridor creating a wonderful pattern of light, which offers a stark contrast to the softer, warmer gallery lighting.


this was s fun use of light--a very blue light that is in contrast to the warm rich lighting of the gallery. a wonderful example of 'play of brilliants'.


the displays below received focal light from spot lights high above and across the space--an "intersection" of light


a little bit of glare from some of the spots, depending on where one was standing. it almost seems inevitable in a museum that there will be glare from certain positions simply due to the number of directional/focal lights in use.
