Forest Galleries
A study of light and contrast
I took the idea of contrast in light
and carried that through
material,
form,
and program
to generate an experience of
constant attraction to an opposing sense.
The two galleries, defined by their position relative to the sun, emphasize the morning and evening light.
The two structures physically embody contrast through their opposing forms, both within and between each other.
A variety of linear apertures
that transmit light into a dim, narrow space
manifests in a dramatic forest
of contrast and light.
The typical eye is attracted to visual contrast,
as it’s what creates distinction
between color and brightness,
making it easier to observe percieved light.
