“After twenty years as a painter it occurred to me that light is a medium in and of itself. I began using coloured plexiglass and developed a process of cutting, gluing, sanding, and buffing to alter its levels of translucency and reflectiveness. The way the material imbues colour with volume was especially intriguing. The ability to conduct how light interacts with surfaces is my ongoing attempt to create a visual braille, that is, a language by which colour, light, and composition can be felt and not merely observed.”
