Solas/Solace series

The Solas/Solace series is inspired by everyday light effects that can bring a moment of peace, such as light filtering through the leaves, and glistening light on the water. In my art I am interested in creating a sensory experience in which the viewer can have a moment away from the world of constant streams of information. I explore this concept by creating works that are affected by the light in some way. I am intrigued by the reflective qualities of different materials, and the atmosphere that the light reflections give to the space that they are in. The interaction between the light that is around the artwork and the work itself, and how this incorporates the light as part of the work, is also a part of these works.
