What is light?
"something that makes things visible or affords illumination"-
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Light
What quality of light or their work is most special for the artist or most intriguing for you?
The most intriguing part of Leo's art work is how the light bursts through holes. My luminaire for class is based off of light bursting through many different holes so it is cool to see an artist who has similar idea. Another thing that is really nice about a lot of his art work is it is set up to make it have a look of motion to it.
