“Luminous Garden (Aerial)” travels to Cynthia-Reeves Gallery in New York! The installation is part of a group exhibition on the theme of water. The piece will be sited near the elevator, right at the entrance to the gallery. It will be reconfigured to contain a passageway, so that visitors entering the gallery will walk through the sculptural environment.

LUMINOUS GARDENS

Since 2003, I have been creating a series of "Luminous Gardens" which are glowing environments made of cast resin seedpods, LEDs, wire and electronics. These ephemeral pieces create an immersive world through which viewers move. To date, there have been six gardens (that appear in the Leaf and Resin Installations section). To view them, click any of the following links.

CURRENT PUBLIC ART PROJECTS

"South Street Mall Public Art Project"
Jamaica Plain, MA
A collaboration with Ray Dunetz Landscape Architecture
In progress

For this renovated Boston park, I have designed a 120 foot long serpentine fence made of translucent metal mesh. At night, it will be dramatically lit creating a glowing wall between the park and adjacent tennis courts. The park construction will begin in Fall of 2009 and the fence, currently being fabricated, will be installed in the Spring of 2010.
