ARTIST STATEMENT (English / Espanol)

Aurora is a series of Mixed Media Light Sculptures. I found its original inspiration from the natural phenomenon of what is known as the Northern Lights.

Light is one of my primary materials because it creates presence without physicality. In many occasions, it can be easily taken for granted, since much of what humans perceive comes from light, yet even that which is apparent can be mysterious. I'm always looking for the instance when light, in its changing forms, makes us contemplate and experience an ordinary circumstance in a different way.
