Influences
Artists and ideas that help define the territory of light, space, perception, and interaction.
My work is shaped by artists who use light, space, perception, material, and technology as active elements. I am drawn to artists who make viewers aware of their own seeing — artists who transform a room, a surface, or an atmosphere into an experience.
These influences do not define a single style for me, but they help map the field I am working in: light as material, space as subject, and perception as something that can be composed.
Dan Flavin
For his use of fluorescent light as a direct sculptural material, and for the way simple industrial fixtures can transform architecture and color perception.
Robert Irwin
For his work with perception, atmosphere, and the subtle conditions of seeing.
Larry Bell
For his use of glass, reflection, transparency, and color as shifting spatial experiences.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
For interactive works that connect technology, public space, participation, and human presence.
Refik Anadol
For immersive data-driven environments and the use of computation as a visual and spatial material.
Richard Serra
For the physical force of space, scale, weight, and the way a viewer’s movement changes the experience of a work.
