Research and Process
This show gave me the opportunity to work closely with scenic designer (and delightful human) Charlotte Bronaugh. These are photos of us experimenting with the mirror material.
This show gave me the opportunity to work closely with scenic designer (and delightful human) Charlotte Bronaugh. Together, we tested materials for our warped and textured mirror, and how they would interact with stage lighting.
By taking the lens out of a Source 4 Lustr and using gel diffusion, I was able to get many colors thrown onto the reflective mylar using only two fixtures.
Research and Process
