Neon

As an artist, I love to explore new media. Neon is a new visual territory that I have begun playing with. Ultimately, I chose LED over neon because it is a flexible material that cannot be shattered. I first tested a single word, DEAD, in the color red. The power of this word for me is twofold. One, I was struggling to stay alive under the weight of harm. Two, having this word glowing in my home (and in the gallery) is a daily reminder, in the Buddhist sense, that eventually we will all die. Life is precious and fleeting. This daily visual reminder is powerful, essential, and grounding.

What am I going to do that is useful to others with this brief time allotted to me?
