A series of artworks that repurpose the movement of light as the basis for sculpture. I create glass sculptures by transforming photographs of light moving through architecture into three-dimensional forms.

This series is rooted in my experience of natural light in the built environment.

Process

I capture the movement of sunlight and use code to track the changes in the light's shape over time. I transform the data into a three-dimensional forms.

Finally, I craft a physical sculpture out of glass which captures the essence of the light's movement over time. The sculptures are snapshots of the light that I captured over time– long exposures in physical forms.

I create each sculpture by carefully cutting and layering each piece of glass.

Observation

When I inhabit a space, I observe the light that falls around me and record moments that resonate with the architecture.

I cut the shapes of light out of glass and carefully assemble the sculpture by hand.

Each sculpture is the result of carefully considering the location and architecture I record.

I take care to ensure that the sculpture captures the aesthetic quality of the light as I experienced it.

I manipulate and revisualize the recordings as part of the work, to gain insight and different perspectives on the space and the light.

This work is ongoing. There will be much more to come.
