March 24th, 2024, was the first day since October 2023 that the Eastern sunlight illuminated my studio. There is no direct sunlight in fall and winter. I get busy as the sun's arc moves through the studio, the formed oval mirrors are placed in its path, and the Lightbirdspring migration begins! Above: The studies began with oval mirrors and stencils of bird wings animated with sunlight and a fan. Common Murres combine both birds and fish, and they paddle furiously diving for food, depleted by warming oceans. JOIN OUR FREE WATCH PARTY! Jim Campbell, the artist, engineer, and curator for the Salesforce Tower, invited me back this year to fly Lightbirds. The Lightbirds series is made of light reflected from mirrors. Lightbird reflections fly with sunlight during the day and, after sunset, fly with video projections for a nighttime migration. Birds bring the good news of light and the renewal of spring. I’ve been asked to fly the Lightbirds for peace. As they soar with 80-foot wingspans, we feel their power to uplift and inspire. &nbsp; The Salesforce Tower Flight of the Lightbirds is from 8 PM to 1 AM on March 26th and 27th, so remember to look up! <img width="720" height="608" width_o="720" height_o="608" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea0141f5979795031bc2f9f9511e8c1ed030224b765565b61b071304ada3267f/https---cdn.evbuc.com-images-478186989-34002916857-1-original.20230327-023839.jpeg" data-mid="212270011" border="0" data-scale="60" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/720/i/ea0141f5979795031bc2f9f9511e8c1ed030224b765565b61b071304ada3267f/https---cdn.evbuc.com-images-478186989-34002916857-1-original.20230327-023839.jpeg" /> FREE Watch Party: Lightbirds soaring to the Salesforce Tower for the Spring Migration of birds.

We are the Lightbird Project, dedicated to enlivening public and private spaces with mesmerizing Lightbird installations that connect us to nature and raise awareness about the impact of warming oceans on seabirds in Northern California. Imagine the awe-inspiring sight of a sun-powered Lightbird with a 40-foot wingspan flying on a 200-foot wall in our Emeryville neighborhood. Thanks to a City of Emeryville Visual Arts grant, we have progressed toward our mission.A 2022 -23 City of Emeryville Visual Arts Grant pairs local property owners, and artists will provide funds to install a Lightbird installation on an architectural scale. In the proposed project, a convex oval mirror 36" w x 24" mounted on the south side of one building and will reflect a Lightbird across the street on a 28’ x 200’ wall. On average, the Bay Area has 291 sunny days each year, and the Lightbird flight will fly with the changing azimuth of the sun and weather conditions.

Follow up on Instagram: @thereselahaie @jimcampbellstudio @salesforcetower @bxpbostonproperties @runningreelfilms SUPPORT FOR THE LIGHT BIRD PROJECT Light installation artist Thérèse Lahaie is influenced by the tides and seabirds she sees as she swims in the San Francisco Bay. Employing sunlight and optical mirrors, her Sunbird reflections occur during the day, then shift after sunset to video projections with a second set of light patterns for a nighttime migration. &nbsp; In addition to compelling art installations the “Lightbirds" are also a call to action for protecting seabird habitats and the impact of warming oceans on birds. This series began to bring recognition to half a million Common Murres, diving sea birds that we have lost since 2015 due to warming oceans on the Northwest US &amp; Canadian Coast. The shapes of the sun's reflected light are reminiscent of birds and fish, as Murres can dive hundreds of feet deep to feed. Lightbird installations have been temporary pop-up events and semi-permanent installations to date. The current mission is to grow the migration of Lightbirds to interior and exterior public and private spaces. This goal requires raising funds for engineering the technically formed mirror optics in acrylic and mirrored stainless for wall and pole mounting for architectural scale installations. The goal is to use these formed mirrors to reflect Lightbirds with 20’ - 60’ wing spans that fly with the sun on building walls, and to do so. Our goal is to raise $50,000. The Salesforce Tower Lightbird installation is my biggest canvas for Bay Area audiences, and please keep the Lightbirds soaring by supporting our mission. &nbsp; Please use the donate button below to make your tax-deductible contribution to this project or contact; Thérèse Lahaie, at therese@thereselahaie.com <img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" style="width: 1px; height: 1px;">You can make a tax-deductible donation via paypal here.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A result of experimentation in the darkroom during a fellowship at the Kala Institute in Berkeley, California, these works offer a new visual cosmology by combining light with the transparent, textured architectural glass that is used in my sculptures. The photograms, which expose glass to the light, transform invisible worlds into visible ones. Intricate landscapes and strange homunculi (tiny human beings) are revealed inside the air bubbles of the glass.Enlargement of the images inside the glass bubbles extended the cosmic fields being referenced by means of photons: packets of light that move from the core of the sun into the Earth's atmosphere.

The name derives from J. M Whistler's dusk-time paintings.

The waves are taller, and they move more slowly as they approach the shore. The reflective and transmissive surfaces of these panels send and receive light across the gallery space. The dark shadows spilling across the horizon are a reminder of the state of our oceans.

Kinetic Tea House A residency at the California State University, Sacramento, provided the opportunity for the sculpture students to collaborate with visiting artists during a residency.&nbsp;In response to the recently opened Sokiku Nakatani Tea Room in the University Library Gallery, Lahaie built a Kinetic Tea House. &nbsp; She had traveled to Japan in the 1980s and participated in a formal Japanese tea ceremony, where the attention to the beauty of the tea implements and the precision of serving the tea became, to her, an ultimate expression of hospitality. Kinetic Tea House, four implements: “Tea Cups” are elliptical mirrors that serve up ovals of reflected light that traverse the walls, ceiling, and floor of the gallery, an expression of “good heart” to the visitor and guest. The scouring of the gray protective paint from the back of the mirrors reveals a layer of paint the color of red clay.&nbsp; “Silver Horizon” is the water container for the tea.&nbsp; “Chabana Whisk” combines a reference to the Japanese art of flower arrangement for the tea ceremony with reference to the sound of the whisk stirring the tea, shhh… as when two brushes kiss. The tabletop is painted with red clay slip, and the golden brush slowly removes it layer by layer. “Thangka of Good Heart” has a flicker bulb at its center, a spark floating on air, a greeting for all who enter.Weather Conditionscoured mirror, steel, low RPM motor 23″h x 14″w x 15″d, 2010.

A close investigation of the nature of these ordinary materials leads to a convergence of sculptural and photographic works that establish a metaphorical system of navigation in the gallery. This begins with the placement of two kinetic wall works. Upon seeing the mirror’s reflected surface partially scoured away, one glimpses an intermingling of reflection and transparency. Two slowly rotating vertical and horizontal mirrors cast light reflections on the wall. These establish longitudinal and latitudinal lines that encompass the space. “Quiet Two Departure,” a wall installation, embeds glass-like wings in the wall on a diagonal axis from floor to ceiling. The glass wings are inspired by the flight path that the artist took between the San Francisco and Sacramento airports in northern California. The pilot explained that there are four radio beacons that emit navigation signals indicating the route. The four invisible radio beacons correspond to the innate navigation systems of birds. The glass embedded in the wall is only made visible by the reflected and transmitted light. &nbsp; Photograms in this instance are a non-camera based process used to expose the intricate forms found within the air bubbles of seedy glass.
