Working in conjunction with artist Matthew Geller and MetaLab, G2LD designed the lighting for this interactive art installation which stands on a busy pedestrian plaza in El Paso, Texas. Completed in 2015, the 55 foot tall industrial-inspired structure incorporates color-changing lighting both internally and externally to illuminate the clouds of mist that radiate from the sculpture.

| Did You Know? When evaluating lighting for safety purposes, contrast ratio is typically more important than specific light levels. Spikes in light level can cause debilitating glare, while disproportionately dark areas can cause dangerous shadows. The human eye can safely adjust to a wide variety of average light levels, but cannot quickly and safely adjust between high and low levels within the same area. |

Trinity Church: Before and After
|

|
G2LD is proud to have been invited to spearhead the lighting of the 1841 Sanctuary for Trinity Episcopal Church in Galveston. While the historic structure contained beautiful material and craftsmanship, both were largely invisible to users of the space due to the dark woods throughout and lack of sufficient lighting. Still in the design phase, the church requested a mock-up of the altar area to help initiate fund raising for the extensive lighting remodel. The before-and-after results from the use of only eight LED lamps were remarkable. To learn more about this historic lighting update, please click here.
