Last year, I wrote about my wish to create installations that are calm, happy, and uplifting. This wish is now more important than ever.

Expanding on my installation, Souvenirs from Realm of Happiness, (2021), I'm designing a sensory-friendly, inclusive space based on principles of universal design and accessibility. In addition, I'm developing ways to enable others to create their own spaces so that their everyday lives will be synchronized with calm, peacefulness, and safety. 

The background image is a detail from my recent explorations working with light, reflection, and shadow.

"Prismatic Confections" (working title) are built on lightweight kinetic armatures hand-formed from individually shaped strands of jeweler's wire.

The sculptures integrate sequins, miniatures, and reflective and translucent materials that are designed to cascade in space. They catch and scatter both sunlight and artificial light into shimmering fields of color, forming playful reflections and shadows to create an ever-changing environment which invites contemplation and joy.

In addition, some of the pieces will incorporate sound-producing elements, such as tiny speakers, bells, and other sonic elements.
