Week 8- Fabric and Color

This weekend I attended an event in LA hosted by Airbnb that consisted of food trucks, boutique vendors, and (to my pleasant surprise) Lady Gaga!  As soon as I saw this installation, I made sure to take a photo for class, since it was the perfect example of what we talked about with lighting fabrics last week.    This was one of the main attractions at the event, people were walking through, having photo shoots, and batting at the fabrics while they turned every spectrum of color in the rainbow.  The sheets themselves were almost opaque white and a cotton-like fabric, which reflected the colors of the lights beautifully.  Because the sheets were all the same, you could really see the contrast in the different colors.  I found myself wondering what it would look like with satin sheets instead, and if that would have given even more richness to the colors.  Regardless, the variety of colors and the shadows they created in the fabric were exciting enough to attract people and make them want to play around in it. Therefore, this installation was successful in bringing joy to the guests, which added to their overall experience of the night.
