Lumonics Light Museum

In Light We Trust, In Sound We Color

About Me


is a "light and sound sanctuary" that came to be as a result of a spiritual experience. Lumonics is...light sculptures that illuminate the space, delight the eye and fire the imagination...Lumonics is...the performance...an explosive mixture of art, sound, light and motion that has the power to transport you through time and space...we are still in search of a new location...a space for people to gather to experience Lumonics; for live performances, drumming and dancing; to provide an atmosphere where people can come together for creating positive change. Assistance from our MySpace friends is welcome to help make this a reality.
I'm b-ray and representing the Lumonics crew on MySpace.

Review Excerpts
Dorothy Tanner "Mood-scape" Installation
Dorothy Tanner has designed a "Mood-scape Meditation Room" consisting of sculptures in which the lighting emanates from the art pieces — utilizing color and light to induce a quiet meditative state; to de-stress and soothe. "Mood-scape" can be seen at Tanner Studio.
