A CATALOG OF DIFFERENCE is a study of change across material and perceptual environments, calling attention to those differences which make a difference. Through a series of visualizations and models this body of work explores formal diagrams that have been meticulously extracted from the gradients of surface curvature and ambient light within their respective environments.   Collectively, A Catalog of Difference speculates on the role of light as a dynamic force and formal generator of material phenomena and morphology.

This exhibition is a culmination of fellowship research.

Included in this exhibition:
Analysis on the Order & Structure of Ambient Light Embedded within Planar Imagery
Analysis on the Order & Structure of Surface Curvature
Analysis on the Order & Structure of Ambient Light Embedded within Spherical Imagery (Lux Sphaerae)
