Lighting · 1999 – present
Light from unlikely things.
16 works · 1999 – 2006
It started with a cheese grater and a bulb in 1999. The question was simple: what happens when you light something from within that was never meant to be lit? Cheese graters, vinyl records, yogurt pots, plant tags, CDs, sockets, switches and car wash brushes. Each piece casts a shadow that is as much a part of the work as the object itself.
Some pieces evolved over many versions – the Grate Light appeared in dozens of forms, and the Hairy Light eventually gained a fan motor so it spins and flies up over my daughter’s head, as shown here.
