Fear Meditation with Light

This light piece is from my most recent body of work. My chief desire and concern as an artist is in bringing beauty, light, love and joy into the world. I have spent many years working with color, and hence light, as a major theme and vehicle to accomplish my goal of bringing beauty into the world. After participating in the Bridge program at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, some of my artist peers suggested that I should start using light as one of my mediums in the work, which led me to start a series of these pieces incorporating light. This piece does require an electrical outlet with 120 Volts. The cord will hang from the piece unless a plug is installed behind the artwork—which I personally would recommend visually. In my profile picture, the cords are plugged in behind the piece.
