Vision:
These stars are the experience of something other. They are ambient molecules moving into and beyond the realm of our perception, guardians at the doorway to alternate worlds. In their presence we feel light transmit itself from the boundaries of form. These stars hold codes to accelerated transformation, increased sharing between all of us.

As replicable structures that convey light, they reflect the relationship of DNA molecules and life, words and meaning, crystals and information. They transmit energy at such a high velocity at any moment they might leap out of this place before our very eyes. They would take us with them.
When we return we see the world with all its various focal points for what it really is, an entity bonded by a singular core. This core may be the underlying 20-sided geometric form that unifies the stars, or the understanding that even in our uniqueness we belong to deeper networks.

Rob Newell studied at University of N. Carolina at Chapel Hill. He began making forms three years ago, as a part of an ongoing collaboration with Sound Tribe Sector Nine. He has shown his
creations in concert spaces all over California, including the Fillmore and the Warfield. This current series of stars marks a transistion from stage installation to interior design.
