She also describesthe development of her materials from flexible plastic filmsto permanent materials such as dielectrically coated glass andmirrored bronze and steel. Her current work-in-progress is the Sun DrawingProject, a large hemispherical structure in New Mexico that willhouse a permanent Sun Drawing active throughout the full yearly cycleof the sun
