Making light-based sculptures, reliefs and environments, and working with colored light, is alchemical to me, ephemeral, meditative, even magical at times. My artistic practice revolves around examining the materiality of objects and materials often contrasting nature and technology. Working with light as an artistic medium also leads me into exploring issues of perception–actual visual perception … and the cognitive perception/dissonance of objects in unusual contexts.
I focus on minimalist works that contrast natural and synthetic materials using wood, stones, minerals, fabric, springs, magnets, lights, hardware, found objects and ready-mades from everyday commercial to industrial products or waste. These elements become an underlying metaphor of the nature/civilization duality that makes up our basic human experience. Creating l art with light is a deeply personal act for me: bringing light into darkness or dimness and examining the ephemeral nature of reality.
