Notes
- Abstract:
- Light grants us the capacity to perceive, this makes light an essential and powerful tool
for the visual artist and is the subject of my research. By harnessing the immaterial,
transient nature of light, I explored the possibilities of visual phenomena and perception
itself. In the summer of 2012, I traveled throughout Europe to the epicenter of this
artistic research, conducting studio visits, interviews with artists, and experienced light
based installations. The sketches, notes, and photographs from my travels guided my
subsequent studio based work.
During this year-long study, I experimented with different lighting technologies to
fabricate miniature installations which reveal vast, infinite landscapes shaped by light.
I developed wearable mirrored ocular apparatuses for the viewer to peer into for an
optically immerse experience. The viewer’s vision was instantaneously distorted and
fragmented into an omnipresently-twisted vision of the world. I channeled light through a
series of mirrors to reflect multiple places in a gallery, transforming the entire space into
an apparatus for the passage of light.
My research led to the creation of sculptures and pictures that heighten our awareness
to the natural world, by causing us to experientially stare directly into the the
invisible operations of optics at work.
