There is something special about natural light and its rather unfortunate that most galleries and stages make it impossible to really play with it. Why do you only see stain-glass windows in churches? why don't we try coloring sections of our windows or use colored lighting fixtures? The effects of such things are truly marvelous and it's amazing how drastic the atmosphere changes throughout the day. What I really love about Stanford Biggers' instillation is just how vibrant it makes the room, how it highlights the simple beauty in window light by focusing the audiences' attention on it. There is so much artistic potential in our everyday, ordinary, experiences with light but you'll never notice it unless you try and change it.
