While walking through the Chicago Art Expo it was evident how many artists used light and shadows to convey the emotion behind their pieces. All of the above images were taken to showcase how light can be used in different ways in an installation.
Light not only highlights space, but when cast upon a textured object it allows for the viewer to distinguish between light and dark or even more solids and voids. This was seen in many of the pieces at the Expo. For instance the piece shown below used texture to convey orientation. Upon walking up to the piece it was indistinguishable on whether or not the piece was a flat 2D piece or a three dimensional art installation. The piece was indeed 3D.
