“Rei” (in image above), like most of my recent works, incorporates my fascination with transparency and luminosity. This mixed media piece incorporates a variety of materials including loose sand, glass, rope, resin, photography, and light elements. The main image was installed just below eye level, in a floating horizontal orientation, which forces the viewer to reflect on the piece in a non-traditional way. I believe viewing it this way gives a unique perspective and allows for more intimate discovery; while having the illuminated orb at eye-level adds an overall ethereal, dreamy-like, quality to the installation.
