Light has a way of anchoring your day and emotions. Alumaphora explores nature's playfulness through color, light, and shape. Interested in ecology and design, Carol’s recent motherhood has sparked both wild playfulness and enjoyment of the little things. Snow mounds surround her days on the playground as an elementary art teacher. Her summers are filled with adventures in the backyard of Alaska, chasing her toddler, and collecting rocks and flowers. The sculptural forms at Olbrich Botanical Gardens reflect her daily experiences with nature and her perspective on the dramatic light of Alaska. The forms are colored using a limited pallet; light emits, fading on and off, from the sculptural forms referencing human breath.​
