In the winter of 2024 I participated in the NES LIGHT UP residency in the beautiful town of Skagaströnd, Iceland. The selected artists spent a month at the residency in northern Iceland, creating illuminated art to brighten the town during its darkest time of year. During this time I assisted in leading wearable light sculpture workshops with the towns children of all ages. The culmination of the residency was a lit parade with the community and these sculptures throughout the various illuminated installations in town.
