Specific light is defined as light from artificial or altered natural sources. The use and manipulation of light in three dimensional sculptural work is discussed in an historic and contemporary context. The author's work with metal arc light sources is presented and documented with developmental drawings and photographs. The use of light sources in space to define volume and mass is seen as the natural development of artificial light as a viable material in art.
