Artist’s description:
The light sculpture displays an affection for the handmade while suggesting that more mysterious factors are at play. Raised in a devout Catholic household, I fuse the visual language of my religious upbringing with an early fascination of 80’s science-fiction to a create sculptures that are eerily sublime. Furniture, and in particular the household lamp, acts as a surrogate for the human body. A light left on in an empty room reminds us that someone was just there.
