Screens and stones in shifting tones serve to connect me to my own alter ego. Portals into self creation, Daniel Canogar’s acrobatic LED tile composed screen sculptures cross the directional design, sharp refined minimalism of Valani’s jewelry pieces. Stacking systems and layered data each embedded with nature, inherently connected to this moment, perform infinite compositional possibilities. Within these tonal confines comes a release, a twisting free of traditional roles and a break in the continuity of the expected. Hand selected, rare gemstones are alive, entering and overlapping into abstraction. Points of light activate and engage in context, with them I enhance my narrative.
