OUTDOOR LIGHTING FEATURE
Limehouse Conservation Area Ontario, Canada Lighting installation ‘12’ at Limehouse Conservation Area in Ontario, Canada sees twelve handmade lighting balls designed by Nargiza Usmanova, bring the forest floor to life - evoking a sense of mystery and magic. As the general public walk through the space, the lighting balls give the illusion that they will start to move at any given moment...Working to create this effect are 500 zip-ties woven into each knitted lighting ball, along with 60 LEDs IP-SF-3 from GVA Lighting. Adding to this, in the area chosen for the installation, there was a crack in the soil and several light balls and linear STR9 RGB floodlights were implemented to achieve a glowing effect appearing out of the cracks and illuminating the tree tops from below. “The RGB-programmed light added mystical and dynamic effects,” said Usmanova. “It created a deep sense of space. When
I visited Limehouse Conservation Area in Ontario I was overwhelmed by the scenery, which is part of unique Niagara Falls landscape,” continued Usmanova. “It was then that I had the idea of combining the spheres of light with a natural wood environment.” The combination of such an unusual landscape with tall trees penetrating through the cracks and rocky surface of the park area, with twelve bionic light balls created a magic atmosphere and mood. “The artistic example of this installation, has inspired me to create a final product series that can be implemented in any public parks or private gardens,” concluded Usmanova. “They will be able to create special and extraordinary atmospheres in any public parks or private gardens.” www.nargiza.net
