The current light pieces integrate my interest in three dimensionality, woven construction, and light. They are functional sculptures that create ambient lighting. Whereas my earlier sculptures explored the interaction of an external light source on forms woven with transparent monofilament, eventually I desired to see the light emitted from within the pieces and began weaving with electroluminescent wire and utilizing LED lights.
While creating a series of these forms, I am exploring the interaction of light bouncing off gathered puckers and folds of material, pushing contrast in density of material to constrict or emit light, and layering transparent backlit color.
