Light Rae Studios

We met Rae Douglass in a social setting, not as the architect/​artist that he is. We were invited to attend a showing of an art piece that he was commissioned to do for the University of Colorado Medical Library. We knew only a little about Rae’s talents, having seen several pieces of art and paintings he had done casually on display in his home. At the opening, we were able to tour his studio and see many of his previous projects, homes he has designed and built, and various articles written on him in architectural publications.
The particular piece being shown, a 2 story image of a human male using metal strips, reflective material and light, was AMAZING. I cannot even begin to think how anyone could create something like this. To imagine and then to make it happen. Wow. And the most wonderful thing about this piece is that it was inspired by a research project and computer software that was created at the University of Colorado Campus. I suspect that the opening in Colorado will be well received and Rae Douglass will be featured in upcoming issues of art and architecture magazines.
Seeing what Rae has done, I could just imagine his sculptures and art everywhere. Unique pieces that would truly represent the places they are and provide visual stimulation for all who view them. I hope to be witness to many more of Rae’s successes like the ones I have been privileged to see.
