Winter 2005 available February 22, 2005!
*In theatrical lighting, "spill light" is light that spills over its required margins, or shows through a gap. It lights areas not intended to be lit, margins, seemingly empty spaces. Like many happy accidents in art, it can show up possibilities not previously considered; it can create its own potent effect.
