ABOUT
This collaborative project with Victoria Mara Heilweil was a private commission for the first phase of expansion of the remodeled Sands Hotel, now called the "J Resort" in Reno, Nevada.
The parametric designed, illuminated wall sculpture was placed in the main casino area.
Spectrascape explores the beauty and movement of waves using clear acrylic and a custom designed light score. The organic curves of the artwork are inspired by nature and sliced into an elegant repeating rhythm. Luminous Waveforms invites the viewer to contemplate the fluidity and energy of the natural world.
Spectrascape is designed in 3D modeling software and then sliced into 2D planes. Each plane is then CNC cut out of 3/4 inch acrylic and physically re-assembled back into its three dimensional form. The edge of each slice provides a solid canvas for the intelligent LED lighting to cast upon. The lighting score is custom coded and site specific to create the mood of the piece, and engage participants with movement and color.
Dimensions: 18' x 5' x 2'
