Unique Clothing Artist
Light Sculpture / LED Art
Steel Art and Jewelry
Taking a wide variety of materials and media,
including clear vinyl, silks, leather, steel, and stainless steel
and light emitting diodes to create artistic clothing and jewelry that
stands out from the mundane of mass produced clothing
and jewelry. This unique lighted clothing and jewelry;
some people call this lumino or lumino kinetic art;
much of it crafted from thrift store scrap; blended with
embroidered silk shirts create something that you enjoy
seeing and that hopefully inspires your own imagination and creativity
Light art, or what some call LED art is art that uses light itself
as a medium, along with other media such as glass, steel, acrylics,
and paint.
Light as a medium is very much
alive. By taking light and shining it on different materials, it makes
those materials take shape. In my art, I take ground steel and shine
lignt from light emitting diodes (LED's) in different directions. The light
is reflected off the steel in different patterns as the viewer looks
at it from different directions.
Light art and light sculpture are a more rare art form than other forms
such as paintings, pottery, and others. Many art museums do not have even
a single piece of light sculpture. My fascination with light, ever since
childhood, makes this form of art a natural for me.
As one wears light sculpture
jewelry, it comes as alive as the person who wears it.
Wearing steel jewelry, illuminated or not, is a live experience, light
from the sun, from the sky, even from overhead lights, reflect off
the steel in many varied ways that are dynamic as the piece is viewed
from different directions. This enables steel alone, ground in different
pattern, to be kinetic art.
Wearing a combination of artistic clothing constructed of unusual fabrics,
along with kinetic light art jewelry enhances the experience of a special
occasion, whether it be a formal dinner or going out on the town!
