Lumenary is an art piece which invites the viewer to consider the holistic and interconnected nature of the cosmos, body, and spirit, while raising consideration of the latter in terms of modern technology. Lumenary offers a modern interpretation of illuminated manuscripts created in medieval times by the mystic philosopher and humanist Hildegard of Birgen, who celebrated the sublime and transcendent through creative expression and to voice her authentic beliefs. Created with a variety of mixed media, with a dash of electronics and microcontrollers, a splash of hand-made sweat labor, and shaken and stirred with artistic resolution.
