In this new series I explore the intrinsic and symbolic nature of four materials as they interact with light, unlocking the mysteries of wood, metal, glass and plastic through composition, relationship and interaction with light. I strive to evoke a sense of something ancient that will ground us to the earth while also calling to a hopeful future when we will have solved some of today's problems, like clean air and water for everyone. The intended alchemy of these two references suggests a timeline that centers us now, in a place of possibility and responsibility. As the messages emerge, the interplay of light invites inquiry and discovery, which opens up all possibility.
