Above are a few selections from the many hand made illuminated works by Jen Lewin over the years.  While different from her more known interactive sculptures, these illuminated forms were derived while Lewin was experimenting with form, light, and reflection.

Many of these forms have inspired Lewin’s larger interactive works such as  The Aurora, or The Cloud.

The Futo Chandelier is a private lighting commission for the Futo Winery. Handmade by Lewin in her  Boulder, Colorado studio, the lamp casts a unique light pattern from the LEDs installed in each glass bulb, transforming surrounding space.

Stars In My Eyes is a work by Jen Lewin using retrofitted / vintage Carles Jr Stars on rotating articulating arms.   By rotating each star, participants play with and become part of the overall work.

The Revolving M’s are a playful series of classic American logobilia transformed through public interaction. Whether it be in commerce, effort or time, it’s undeniable that there are symbols that have become an unrecognizable part of life. The Ms allow participants to interact with some of these symbols without cultural pressure and reminds us that their real meaning lies in playful moments. Mounted on articulating arms, participants can impact and change these pieces to be playful, traditional, ironic, or nonsensical.

On Point is a series of illuminated, rotating pointers.

Participants are invited to point and rotate the pointers as desired, allowing the audience to impact the art, changing the perceived impact. They appear to display different messages and emotional reactions when all three are pointed down, or up, or at the gallery attendant to the left. The artistic intention, however, remains the same – that by impacting the art you have more of a connection to your community than just being a passive observer.
