Day 2 Luminaire Critiques

Today the luminaire critique was pretty impressive overall.  Some of my favorite works were Christina's luminaire.  It was almost like a cocoon attached to the wall, emiting a very warm light.  The luminaire was constructed with wide strips of textured white paper.  The texture gave a little something extra to the light source itself.  The light projected through the slips of the paper was astonishing.  Christina was able to bend the light the was projected outward and the directions were all around the luminaire itself.  I could definitely vision this light as a sort of sconce in either a nice restaurant or a home space wanting a soft warm light.  The Luminaire was held up on the wall by a piece of balsam wood, which she covered with the same white textured paper.  The bulb itself was concealed just right so it looked like it was a warm light being emitted from the center of the structure.  I feel this piece was very well executed in achieving her inspiration.  The inspiration was a sunrise.
