LIGHT-MOBILES
Light-Mobiles are compositions of suspended lenses that are fine-tuned to interact with light. Projecting an inter-dimensional, meditative ‘light painting’, the works inhabit a space between 3D sculpture and 2D image, seeking a visual-chord that reverberates and resonates with the ambience of an environment.
Unveiling a luminosity that is distinct to each setting, the glass elements harmonise with the natural dynamic of the light of the space as it transitions from day to night. The pieces are created either as site-specific compositions or as unique editions.
Combining the fundamental photographic process—where light is mediated by the lens—with the artistic tradition of mobiles that contemplate the body and it’s movement in space, the pieces are conceived as satellites that tune the intermediating rays between mind, body and environment.
Confronted by technologies that seek to automate our sensibility, the work offers a sensory therapeutics by opening the light of technology into new meditative realms. Through the play of mediation, light is thereby once again understood as that enigmatic signifier of consciousness—not subject to the program, but as that prior luminosity in which it first appears.
Existing studio compositions available on request. Dimensions are variable with a high degree of 'tuning' available for site-specific and architectural integrations. Site-specific compositions at varying scales available on request. Lenses depicted range from 20-40cm diameter. LED fixtures are easily integrated into existing domestic lighting systems.
