FOG BANK INSTALLATION 3A Gallery, San Francisco CA

Fog Bank is an installation investigating affective environments through multiple means of light, texture, and reflectivity.  The surface of the installation is composed of plastic tubes clustered together to form a surface derived from programmatic elements in the space.  Together, the tubes create a highly animated effect, alternately shimmering with light or distorting it to create an atmosphere diffused throughout the space at once tangible yet ethereal.

As a thesis studio we collaborated in the design and fabrication of an installation made of 26,085 pieces of plastic tubes. I focused on the atmospheric effects of lights on the curved plastic, experimenting with gel light filters to provide a contrast to the natural lighting.  By varying transmission percentages I was able to achieve effects of blurring, highlighting, and varying opacity.
