Jalousie Series
Into the Deep
The Jalouisie Series
The jalousie or louvered window was used as my sculptural canvas. The jalousie came about in the early 1900’s offering privacy and ventilation for building occupants along with the freedom to peek out. The name is French for jealousy for the design which allows the person behind the glass to jealously guard their privacy for internal activities.
In the Jalousie Series each piece becomes a mechanical interactive device which that allows the viewer to manipulate the glass panes of the louvers to reflect and re-direct light and offering a unique experience with every interaction.
