LIGHT
So many different possibilities and effects. So many ways to affect perception and experience. Light can be emotional, it can cause anxiety, it can wash something out so that only a brief impression remains. Light often means life while a lack of light is dangerous and threatening. Light can also be heavenly and suggest another plane, or it can be futuristic and technology-driven.

The artwork of Olafur Eliasson is so arresting in his experiential projects with light. His dutch/icelandic heritage conveys a fascination with the human condition and its environments, and his installations immerse the viewer within them. This attests to how significantly light impacts on us, and having been to one of his exhibitions i can say that his work truly resonates for a long time after the experience - hugely inspirational.
