Included as part of the exhibition (Rainbow Redacted) at MORA Art Museum, this work retools the materiality and aesthetics of light as a metaphor for perception at large. Upon entering the gallery, viewers are greeted by a nearly 15 foot hanging print on metal, which hovers atop a corresponding rectangle of powdered titanium dioxide — a pigment found in stars and now used in everyday materials such as sunscreen, paint, and food coloring. From above, its matte aluminum casing mimics the interference patterns of light waves, extracted from physics textbooks, to contrast the distinctly artificial luminescence with both the imagery of light itself and the material byproduct of celestial bodies — analogizing the forms of light as we know it.
