Shadows and Light

Are you suffering from March affective disorder?

Prescripe yourself a dose of Adam Frank. The New York-based installation artist creates shadow-y, nature-inspired lighting.

Frank’s Reveal window projection is a stroke of incandescent ingenuity. A ceiling lamp casts a life-size silhouette of a window frame onto your wall, with just a glimpse of a tree beyond — perfect for window-deprived city dwellers.

For a lo-fi pick-me-up, turn on the Lumen oil lamp. It projects the shadow of the lamp’s sculptural ornamentation onto a back surface and comes in five designs from a magnolia tree to a bird’s nest.

Clearly, the Rhode Island School of Design grad suffered the New England seasons for his art; his pieces perfectly counteract our region’s “in like a lion, out like a woolly mammoth” winters.

Finally, you’ll feel more than a shadow of your summery self.
