Meteor Shower is part of a collection that I've called Flight Dream. The pieces in this collection are conceived by establishing a geometric rule-set or constraint, that I use to build out expressive forms. This process narrows down the number of possible outcomes providing a simplified base with which to find unique forms and expressions. These restrictions tend to affect the expression of the final piece, often in delightfully unexpected ways.

The glossy evening blue form reflects long light streaks that appear to move in parallel unison as you walk around the piece, giving the impression of a meteor shower. The haphazard placement of the geometrically consistent rounded tubes represents the dichotomy that exists in actual meteor showers (and possibly all events): the dichotomy between chaos and order, and how like many events, meteor showers can be perceived as chaotic, volatile events from the perspective of the exploding space rocks entering the atmosphere, or perfectly parallel light streaks (as though intentionally arranged) when observed in long exposure photographs taken from the ground.
