Lime Light
David Kennedy, Benjamin Peek, Jacob Mans
Presented in partnership with the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
An objet d’art and architectural experience, Lime Light appears from a distance as a curious wooden box. Upon approach, a viewer observes activity occurring within. Upon entrance, they will be saturated in the greenish fluorescent brilliance that Black Locusts emit when illuminated by UV light. Mirrors multiply the effect and contrast the preciousness of the exterior with the vastness of the interior. This piece isolates a little-known property of a local tree species -- the so-called invasive black locust -- with the intent of heightening awareness of the latent and manifest properties of wood.
