Penumbra /pəˈnəmbrə/ (from the Latin word paene "almost, nearly") is the region in which only a portion of the light source is obscured by the occluding body.

Penumbra: Corridor of Ambience is the 6th and most significant Central Florida based site-specific installation, featuring geometric aerial sculptures representing La’ford’s focus on how light ripples in space, the metaphysics of illumination, and the emotive responses to sound and time. Inspired by sacred spaces, patterns and place, La’ford’s installation invites viewers to activate both space and senses through a whimsical array of intersecting geometric forms. Fascinated by paths of light, La’ford’s lined encased environment is an echo of her interests in a concept she coined as geometric-lineage; a parallel sense that each line exists as a compatible path that defines each individual’s intersected human experience.
