On MaVillareal inaugurated The Bay Lights, a 1.8-mile-long installation of 25,000 white LED lights on San Francisco’s Bay Bridge which has since become a permanent installation. The resulting forms move, change, interact and ultimately grow into complex organisms that are inspired by mathematician John Conway's work with cellular automata and the Game of Life. He is interested in lowest common denominators such as pixels or the zeros and ones in binary code. His work is focused on stripping systems down to their essence to better understand the underlying structures and rules that govern how they work.

Yet unlike his Light and Space and Finish Fetish peers who often collaborated with scientists and outsourced fabrication of their work, Eversley’s firsthand technical understanding as a scientist himself (Eversley came to Southern California in the 1960s to work as a consulting engineer for NASA and his early career was spent with United States’ largest aerospace company during that period–Wyle Labs in Los Angeles) enabled him to utilize materials in ways that uniquely position his practice.Įversley is the subject of a major show at The Orange County Museum of Art / OCMA when the museum Eversley hit his stride with his primary mode of working at the same time the Light and Space movement gained momentum in Southern California. She and Zuckerman discuss family legacy, audacity, learning from artists, bank loans, consiglieres, vision, looking at everything, being a mom in the artworld, mentoring, and not rushing!įred Eversley’s lenses and mirrored forms reflect and refract the world, and our place within it.
