A type of lens, a mathematical shape formed by the intersection of two disks with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other. Within the context of sacred geometry, the Vesica Piscis represents creation or the “womb of The Universe". As a ceiling piece, two lenticular lenses rotate in opposite directions on motors in front of led arrays, creating an intersection which demonstrates the moire effect. Within the intersection distorted images become clarified at the center of the universe while distorted chaos surrounds the periphery.
Lenticular Mirror
A rectangular "mirror" made of an array of leds behind a translucent sheet of acrylic on top melting into a lenticular lens which slowly arches towards the viewer. The top of the mirror displays the viewer obfuscated in the real world, the bottom an inverted upside down image of the viewer in the parallel lenticular light dimension.
Lenticular Wave
An exploration of the physical bending of light through a box entirely constructed from lenticular lens. The top of the box is made of the lens arranged in a sinusoidal wave pattern, the edges of the box are perpendicular pieces of lenticular. When viewed from different angles, the light contained in the box appears to defy the laws of physics stretching and bending into an apparent infinite pattern that is quite difficult for the viewer to process, creating a sense of wonder and confusion. From other angles the light appears to be moving in waves, beams, and individual pillars of lights.

Lenticular Sunrise
Lenticular Sunrise is a riff of the GIF in sculptural form, showcasing the endless loop of the rising sun. Represented by an LED pixel array, the sun is programmed to cycle through a defined sequence of animations, a curated collection of GIFs extracted from the GIPHY database that are then transformed into light.
Typically a lenticular lens is used to animate still images that move depending on the viewing angle, creating an analog GIF. In Lenticular Sunrise, the array of cylindrical ridges are used to magnify the light behind it, emphasizing the individual pixels of the GIF and creating a multiplicity of animated images as a viewer engages with the piece.
