Box Light Studies

"I have no regrets. My life is squares, triangles, lines" - Vera Molnár

Box Light Studies is an investigation into light, color and geometry.  

As an artist who works with code and produces sketches on a daily basis, I've come to realize that I have just a few topics I deeply care about, topics that make up my life, and one of the most important ones is light. I try to produce images with a sense of illumination, where it feels like color, rhythm, and form are explored through that illumination, and I feel like I've captured some essence of what I see in the world. 

I often see something on the sidewalk, like sunlight reflecting off a shiny surface, and wonder how to code that.  At night, I look at a car's headlights coming towards me and see rays of light, almost like a prism.  I see these things and wonder how to communicate them through my work. At the same time, my work changes the way I see.  I explore algorithms of light and reflection via code and I start to see the world differently.  This back and forth between observing and creating and observing is critical and shapes the work I do. 

As an artist, I try to make images that make me feel something, with the hope that others feel something.   I create images that change how I see, with the hope that they may change how others see.  I love to sketch, and this project is a view into my studies with light.
