My exploration of light and perception sits at the meeting point of art, optical experimentation and human experience.
Through years of working with colour, mirrored geometry and changing visual patterns, I’ve become interested in how we recognise images, direct our attention and respond to what we see.
Scientific research into vision, attention and perception offers valuable ways of examining these questions.
My own observations and creative investigations bring a different perspective, one that continues to develop through practice, documentation and enquiry.
Kaleidoscopic Light Therapy bridges the boundaries of pure visual aesthetics and cognitive neuroscience. By utilizing specialized refraction patterns and spectral intervals, we examine how coordinated light frequencies stimulate neural plasticity and modulate autonomic states.
Our research in Light Literacy empowers clinicians, architects, and visionaries to decode the subtle vocabulary of the electromagnetic spectrum, turning ethereal visual phenomena into structured therapeutic protocols.
Research, for me, is not simply about confirming what I already believe. It is about remaining curious enough to discover what I may not yet understand.

Research Categories
My work has grown through more than two decades of practical experience with colour, light, kaleidoscopic imagery and human perception.
Alongside that experience, I have drawn upon published research, historical approaches to colour, studies of visual perception and the work of thinkers from several disciplines.
These different sources have informed my questions, but they do not all carry the same evidential weight. Some findings are well established. Others remain theoretical, experiential or open to investigation.
This collection reflects that distinction and the continuing development of my work.
