Title: Soo Sunny Park
Description: "Unwoven Light continues Park's ongoing experimentation with the ephemeral qualities of light and how light affects our perceptions of architectural space. She began thinking about her installation by making a site visit to the gallery in July 2012, to experience the built and the natural elements of the space: its proportions and surfaces, and in particular its lighting conditions. Though immaterial, light is a critical structural element in each of Park's works. Here she has utilized both the gallery's lighting and the natural light that enters through the front glass wall. Park notes, "We don't notice light when looking so much as we notice the things light allows us to see. Unwoven Light captures light and causes it to reveal itself, through colorful reflections and refractions on the installation's surfaces and on the gallery floor and walls." -- Rice University Art Gallery website
