LARA LIGHT
My journey began at a workbench, fascinated by light, glass, colour and mirrored geometry.
Over more than two decades, that curiosity has taken me from handcrafted kaleidoscopes to immersive light experiences, optical experimentation and an ongoing enquiry into how we perceive and make meaning.
Today, my work brings together art, experiential education, research and the simple invitation to look again.
My journey began with making kaleidoscopes alongside Turid, exploring the possibilities of light, glass and mirrored geometry.
Over the years, our work grew into handcrafted optical instruments, commissions and immersive light experiences.
But what fascinated me increasingly was not only what we created, but what happened when people looked.
I watched people become absorbed, laugh, fall quiet or respond emotionally to patterns of light and colour.
And I began wondering why the same visual experience could affect people so differently.
That curiosity eventually changed the direction of my work.
