Experiments in glasswork and kinetic sculptures with moving light

While working as a jewelery designer and fabricator, I began an ongoing series of experiments exploring the intersection of borosilicate glasswork, kinetic sculpture, and moving light. These works investigate how light interacts with glass forms in motion, creating dynamic visual experiences that change with time and movement.

The above shows a singular tube with a light capsule inside, performing simple rotations where the light is illuminated only in specific orientation.

The above grid explores the idea of playing with varied time as a means for generating pattern designs. This simple effect is achieved through adjusting the rates at which the motors are turning in conjunciton with one another. In this configuration, each tube/LED becomes a pixel to become a part of a larger animation.
