My partner Bailey Haack and I designed and fabricated six glowing unfurling fern light sculptures ranging from 4 ft to 7 ft, called “Koru” after the Maori word for the unfurling fern shape that symbolizes evolution, growth and balance. Our ferns have welded steel frames, internal programmable color-chase LEDs, and colorful, waterproof skins made from industrial plastic wrap, tissue paper, spar urethane and other materials to create a vibrant and playful stained glass aesthetic.
