  My first light piece, in 1994, surprised me by being participatory in unexpected ways, beyond the intended ability to move within it. Drinks were spilled the first time I exhibited it at Tough Gallery in Chicago, and at an exhibition at the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf, Germany, an enterprising organizer installed a disco ball next to it, for the opening party. Starting in 1998, light installation became sites for invited and curated events, and finally the premise for an exhibition.
