the light throwing sculptures @ 516
wire, beveled glass, recovered metal · sizes variable · 2010



Light throwing sculptures in the GardenLab@516 hang at variable heights from wires strung between the Ruth Stanford House (516 Sampsonia) and Frank & Belle Battista’s house (Monterey). These sculptures are designed to dance with the wind while capturing and reflecting the light from the sun to the space below. These sculptures are symbols of appreciation — prayers of thanks — for the wind, for the the warmth and light of the sun, for friendship and community, and for the absolutely wonderful lesson-filled space I was given to work with.
