Lighting · 1999 – 2009
Light from unlikely things.
16 works · 1999 – 2009
A cheese grater, a bulb, and the discovery that a drain cover throws a better shadow than anything you could design on purpose. Light gets into things that were never built to hold it, and the grid, the mesh and the perforation do the rest. 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.
