Mixed media (metal Geodesic Sphere, PET bottles, optical fibre, LED light source)
Sun is built upon the superstructure of a geodesic sphere, and illustrates the processes, materials and structure stemming from and furthering my interest in geodesic structures (also apparent in the works Beacon and Star Turn). Working with fibre optics has resulted in numerous visual experimentations of form, physical space and feeling. Sun is an amalgam of all three. The first iteration of the work was created to sit over an infinity pool at Nicholas Conservatory and Gardens in Rockford, Illinois, suspended as if rising in the morning and setting at night.
