Descriptive Summary- Emily

I started of with the concept of imitating natural phenomena (a cicada wing) that was enhanced with certain elements of interest such as transparency in material, it's interaction with other natural phenomenon and occuring movement. This lead onto sculptural experiments playing with light, patterns and shape. This further demonstrated the imitation of a natural element (reflection) that was manipulated by the shapes made by an artificial reflective surface or addition of natural light on transparent and translucent materials.

I would like to continue to experiment further with manipulation of light reflective sources and materials. Aesthetically I appreciate the delicateness and similarity that compositions created by light reflections are to the intricate architectural design of the cicada wing, the object of origin. To focus more on this concept I would like to move away from immediate reflective surfaces such as mirrors. I want the audience to interact with the relationship of the source (material) and its effect (light) rather than their own reflection and interaction with the source (material) only. I also want to continue experimenting with shape and movement, kinetic experiment is still an interest and perhaps this will take place with an audiovisual installation or even the natural progression of sunlight as the effect moving through the day. Additionally, to enhance further appreciation to such beauty I would like to play around with size, almost like a useless attempt to create a solar panel to heat artistic discussion rather than electrical productivity.DE
