UMA Assistant Professor of Art, Luc Demers, recently gave a talk about his work included in the show “Energy in Flux” at the Maine Museum of Photographic Arts which runs Oct. 4 through Dec. 7, 2024.
Regarding his works included in the show, Luc said, “I am interested in how we use photography to understand what we see, and how we see. For the past several years I have been exploring ways to make photographic color studies of ambient or available light. I have always found the light that spills into a room through a window captivating, particularly the ever-changing light that casts onto the ceiling. Reflected sunlight carries the colors of the world outside onto the pale paint of the ceiling and walls. These photographs were taken of the light cast on the ceiling above windows throughout my house.”
