I started working with light as newly available technologies allowed me to completely transform the effects I had used in my painting.  I began layering and blending different colors of light, and adding newly developed materials to play with space, form, color, and relativity of scale.

I use optics along with various lighting technologies, different kinds of reflective materials, and diverse structures to simultaneously contain and disseminate light. By combining spatial and color concerns with architectural and theatrical elements, I focus on both object and space so I can go beyond light, exploiting walls and other surfaces as well as the work’s surroundings.  My goal is to amplify perception-altering effects, and create vibrant, otherworldly environments.

My work is about the intricacies of human interaction, which I learned to carefully observe in order to compensate for a hereditary hearing problem. Like theater at its best, when a play captures the hidden structure of those intricacies and is no longer about the words, the work explores the energy embedded in subconscious perceptions and calculations, the things you see and know without realizing it.  Information intersects with emotions to create a specific kind of knowledge that is nonverbal, precise, and intense.
