A Narrative History of the Light Bulb
2006
Drawing from my long-term interest in the phenomenon of light, I focused on the development and history of the light bulb and its place as a cultural indicator. These works are records of methods of historical light bulb classification as well as narrative landscapes of metaphor-rich objects that borrow from the history of the still life. The resulting series of photographs embodies sculptural installation and photography, as well as a close scrutiny of scientific objects.
