Silver crystals (Swarovski components) reference both star formations (light) and the man-made (hubris). The compositions are determined by vibration and random dispersion of the various sized elements on the paper surface. The crystals are further manipulated by controlled interference: frequency and duration of vibration as well as manual interference such as gathering and edging. These works reveal how nature controls apparent randomness through patterned behaviour ( Chaos theory). The complex surfaces sparkle randomly for each viewer depending on eye level and light conditions. Each work is considered a unique "spectacle" by the artist. Even the slightest amount of light in a darkened space will activate the silver crystals but they are most opulent with an intense light source.
