First there is veiled light. In this chapter, the authors visit three antebellum houses in South Carolina. Succeeding chapters read poetically. Each dwells on what the authors, with Pittel, a contributing editor at House Beautiful magazine, consider to be the elemental feature of a particular brand of light. Water light, for example, sparkles and reflects into rooms off lake, sea and bay.
Stark light is harsh and intense, as is high light, at lofty altitudes.
And, lastly, coloured light demonstrates how juxtaposing colours can alter your conception of the original hues, and maybe even surprise you in the process. Southam Digital Inc. All rights reserved.
