DescriptionThe subject Study Light Knot at 16 x 21 x 12 inches is a small study for larger Light Knots. The series was begun in 2012. Sheets of Mylar film are cut, folded, and coated with vaporized metallic particles. Hung from the ceiling with monofilament, the nearly weightless works sway with the slightest air movement. Their iridescent layers shift and shimmer in the light, reflecting the surrounding environment. Like the collages, the appearance of the Light Knots shifts dramatically depending on the ambient light and the viewer’s position towards them.On View
