The design of “Relevator” references traditional color comparison diagrams. Layering the square-and-surround patterns lends a sense of depth to the composition. Every new light painting evokes new ideas for color-change programming. This piece may call for future development. Construction completed in October 2022. Dimensions: 18”w X 24”h X 5”d.

"H'arp", a light painting.   Completed in September, 2022, this light painting has a more whimsical design. It is a move away from the orthogonal formality of other designs.   Dimensions 18" x 26" x 5" .  "H'arp" uses a digital microcontroller to program color-changes.

“Urban Breeze” introduces a sense of atmosphere into a light painting. The design is abstract, but sky and ground are implied, with color areas broken up or blended to lend lightness and air to the vista. 
Date: May 2022.       Size: 18”w x 24”h x 5”d.

"Reddish Glance" was made in 2021. It uses RGB LED strips with a programmable digital micro-controller.  Size:  18"W x 24"H x 5"D.

Color-change programming for  The Window  includes random color selections that are constrained by prescribed relationships of color-difference between areas in the composition.
Size:      18”w x 24”h x 5”d 
Materials: RGB LED strips, acrylic screen, wood cabinet. Partitioning of plastic, and wood.
                           Digital micro-processor with electronics.
User Controls: On/Off , Brightness, Color change-rate. 
Date:      2020-2021

"Test Flight"    - This light-painting is programmed to include desaturated color-states, which appear as pastels and shades of gray.
Materials:  RGB LED strips, programmable micro-controller,  wooden cabinet, acrylic diffusing screen.
Size:  24"h x 18"w x 5"d.
Date: 2021

The light-painting "Monolith" is designed to give a sense of depth, light, and reflection, even as the entire composition changes color.  Date:  2021.   Dimensions:  18”w x 24”h x 5”d       Materials:  RGB LED strips, acrylic screen, wood cabinet. Digital micro-processor with electronics.   User Controls:  On/Off , Brightness, Color change-rate.

"Entrance II", made in 2020, uses the symmetry of a gateway to juxtapose colors, and create hard and soft boundaries between color areas.    18”W x 24”H x 5”D  
Materials:     RGB led strips, acrylic screen, wood cabinet, partitioning of metal, wood, and plastic.

"Edge" is a composition designed to explore the effects of color changes on perception of geometric spatial ambiguities. Date: 2017.  Size:  22"W x 30"H x 5"D.   Materials: Colored LEDs, analog electronic circuit, power supply, plastic screen, wooden case.

"The Chief" is an exploration of dividing colored light areas using ‘broken’ barriers so light can stream from one region into the next. When it was almost finished I saw a New Orleans Mardi Gras “Indian” costume in a café in Baltimore. I named the light painting “The Chief” because of its colorful feathery symmetry.      Date: 2014.           Size:  18"W x 24"H x 5"D.  Materials: Colored LEDs, analog electronic circuit, power supply, plastic screen, wooden case.

"Nova" is a light painting made in 2003 that uses complementary hues of blue and amber. The hues mix to white when both colors of LEDs are fully on. There are no white LEDs in this piece. Nova's four-way symmetry reflects the logic structure of the electronic circuit that drives LED fade patterns.    Size - 2' x 2' on the diagonal.  Materials: Colored LEDs, analog electronic circuit, plastic screen, wooden case.

"Tang"  is a painting on a panel with fabric shapes applied. Slots in the panel open to an interior chamber that is illuminated with LED lights that fade to change the color visible through the slots. Made in 2014

I turn to painting for spontaneous contact with work that evolves even as it is made, in contrast to light-paintings, which require distinct stages of design and construction.
