Let There Be Light
A solo exhibition of mixed media light sculptures and poetry by Shahrzad Taavoni

Using her art as a way to release intense emotions, Taavoni?s light sculptures are romantic and colorful explorations of natural forms. Freely incorporating both traditional and non-traditional materials such as wire, ribbon, fragments of glass, glitter and recycled gumball machine domes into her process, the resulting light spheres glisten and cast almost psychedelic forms onto the gallery walls. Her poetry, recorded in her own voice and played in the background, adds depth and texture to the installation. Taavoni is inspired by healing, holy, sacred energy; for her, creation is a sacred and spiritual experience like materializing a prayer or an invisible force.

Shahrzad Taavoni, BS, MATCM, Dip. OM, L.Ac, incorporates vibrant colors, recycled material, light, and music into her interactive light orbs that have largely been inspired by her healing work as an acupuncturist, philosopher, nature lover and spiritual seeker. All of her art exhibited here is made from lightweight shatter-resistant plexiglass from recycled gumball machine domes that were originally part of working candy machines. She creates her light shows by sequencing all of her orbs so that they will dance in coordination with music she has specifically chosen.
