Light Sculptures by J.R. Moyer I comb the Northwest beaches for interesting pieces of driftwood for my art.. Each piece carries an unknown history and I thoroughly enjoy my time exploring and presenting such natural organic forms. Driftwood bases combine with translucent “washi” papers known for flowing fibers that create distinctive patterns. Multiple layers of washi are applied over armatures of natural reeds with shapes “called out” by the character and form of the driftwood. Each piece is a one of one. The goal here is to allow grounding and peace in a fast paced world. Dimmable, warm lighting can create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. There is emotion at play in the interaction between light and darkness ...between light source and wood. Creating mood in low light is as much about the shadows as it is about the light I hope to allow the unique creation of a calm introspective personal space.
