Portfolio: Photography

In 2002, during a fellowship at the Kala Institute in Berkeley, CA, I discovered a new visual cosmology inherent in the textured glass that used in my sculptures. This cosmology came about through the process of making photograms, a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects (in my case, glass) directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photographic paper or film and then exposing it to light. Through this process, intricate forms, some occupied by homunculi (preformed individuals) inside the bubbles/seeds became visible. These luminous forms remind me of photons, packet of light moving from the core of the sun into earth’s atmosphere at the speed of light and also of magnified cells or the pupae of insects.
