“And There Was Light” explores humanity’s desire to make meaning and find purpose in an irrational universe. With reference to traditional and religious stories, my series of video and stained glass works reflect the idea that our perception of reality is defined and limited by our human experience.

Through video I connect the creation stories that I grew up with — Abrahamic and Māori — to natural truths of birth and femininity. The stained glass works are inspired by Islamic design, an art style informed by sacred geometry and patterns that can be observed in nature.

Together, the video and the stained glass sculptures are a meditation on how our understanding of creation is bound to our knowledge and experience of birth and the natural growing world.
