Blown Glass Chandelier, 2008 on vintage Venizia Map        

  
My chandelier series is painted in ink and Flashe on vintage and contemporary paper maps.  Thinking of them as portraits - they explore the light and shadow of identity:  conceptual, energetic and visible.  Like light, identity is a multifaceted entity that can be luminous or remain in the shadowy realm where conclusions cannot be easily drawn.  They are a continuation of my interest in light as a metaphor, energy, or aura that melds the past with the present.
