"I try to tap into my inner child when making art and that sense of wonder I had when I was a boy. A child of the 1960s, the Lite-Brite toy came out in 1967. I was six years old, and my parents got me one for Hanukah that year. The toy is a light box with a black face with a grid of round holes that colored translucent plastic pegs fit into. When inserted into the holes, the pegs are illuminated by the back light. It comes with templates to create pre-formatted pictures or you could go freestyle and create your own. In a sense it was an early raster image maker. In computer graphics, a raster graphic represents a two-dimensional picture as a rectangular matrix or grid of pixels, viewable via a computer display. If you were to zoom in on any one of my artworks to the smallest element, you would see a grid of colors. Each individual box in the grid is a pixel. With Lite-Brite, the pegs are the pixels. I had no interest in the templates. I always went freestyle, trying to figure out on my own how to make for example a flower or a bug. But when sometimes failing, the picture would just be a field of colors, and I liked how those came out as well. Lite-Brite Night is a digital interpretation of the hours of joy and wonder I had playing with this toy."
