A multi panel installation of my SCAN series is now hanging in a gorgeous light-filled DC lobby.

This project came together with a short turn around time for installation in advance of the client’s fall conference and building opening. The art consultant collaborated with the client to get translated versions of their core value “move.” I used these text elements to create intricate vertical compositions alongside vibrant panels of color rhythms.
My work is deeply informed by my prior career in healthcare. Working first as a speech language pathologist and then as director for physical rehabilitation, I think a lot about the importance of engaging environments that activate us physically and mentally. Working with different types of shimmer and iridescence and strong texture contrasts sets up a human-powered art ecosystem. As a viewer moves glass shifts to create a cycle of engagement and movement.
Working in multiple panels is a great way to create a large visual feature that ships and installs easily. I can’t wait to see this in person—sometime when travel is a thing again.
