'Ode to the Light Within' - September Public installation, 675 Tyler St., Port Townsend, WA



 

“Ode to the Light Within”

 

These luminous figures give visibility to my belief that within each of us there exists a kind of light that encourages us to be our ‘best’ selves.  My hope is that this poetic, figurative rendering supports that light within us and encourages us to offer it out to the world through the quality of our interactions.  Our thoughts, feelings and acts of kindness can spark compassion, tolerance, equanimity and empathy for ourselves, each other and for the earth. 

 

May we all be well.

Materials used for this installation are clothes dryer, venting hoses and glittery bird, scare tape along with several of my photographs made by scratching into slide film.

I have much gratitude to the North Peninsula Chapter Surface Design Association, https://sda-np.com/ for the opportunity to use their window exhibition space to realize this installation which has been brewing within me for some years.

Creating ‘Ode to the Light Within’ in this space felt a bit like a homecoming for me, reminding me of other installations I created in that window from 2010-2016
