Located in the atrium of the Rowan University Campbell Library, Ray King’s Lightwave is a light-responsive public art sculpture based on mathematics and sacred geometry. During bright early mornings of spring and summer months, the sunlight directly hits the glass sculpture lighting it with a wide spectrum of brilliant colors. The effect can also be seen (at a lesser degree) during bright early winter mornings.
Artist Ray King
Ray King uses natural light as it interacts with glass and optics as a public art medium. King creates environments that appeal to viewers’ sense of wonderment and delight by creating dynamic interactions with the sun and refracting light into colors. He also uses mathematics and sacred geometry to add a humanistic element and proportion to his public art.| Learn More
