Shooting Stair, 2009

Three-dimensional color laser sculpture installation consisting of four red, two green and one blue low powered lasers mounted in a 3'x1'x 3 1/3' waterproofed fiberglass enclosure; high-pressure water fogging system (pumps, hoses, nozzles with a water source); and one glass light target. Total sculpture measures 3 1/3' deep x 26' long (length can vary) x 3' high. Edition of five signed and numbered on the artist's certificate.

Shooting Stair is activated in low or evening light and projects six light beams through clouds of mist, sculpting a master three-tiered stairway in imaginary space. Depending on weather conditions and the viewers' positions around it, the installation shifts in shape, intensity, and color. Working within a minimalist visual vocabulary, Shooting Stair draws on artistic and scientific traditions to examine perspective and perception of space.
