Abstract
In my studio practice, I optimize visual phenomena in an effort to create a sense of wonder in the viewer. I experiment with a specific light phenomenon until I understand how to display it to its best effect. This often manifests as structures that kinetically play with the phenomenon in real time. I incorporate these structures into large-scale installations in an effort to engage the viewer's entire body. I isolate the phenomenon in an attempt to harness the viewer's complete attention. I encourage careful observation so that the viewer may experience wonder.
