The films show subtle changes of light and landscape in New York; the shadows cast by lace, artificial silk flowers, plants and trees; the impact of commercial security lighting on an artist's environment; and celestial recordings examining how natural and artificial light effect emotions and perceptions of different objects, places, and situations.
