Pamela Hadley is a time-based light artist based in Portland, OR. Using projected minimalist abstract animations while considering or constructing architectural forms, they create immersive environments. They are interested in how embodied viewing changes the scale of time and place and makes us witnesses to the divorce of contemporary culture from these basic realities. Believing that phenomenological experience can be and agent of social change, they seek to make these experiences available to everyone.
