Rain Worthington – Multidisciplinary Artist Portfolio
Installation Concepts and Sculpture Models

Artist Statement

I am committed to the belief that artistic expression is an elemental impulse of human nature and essential to humanity. As a creative response, I am pulled toward the potency of awe and transformative spaces.

Seeking to explore new tangents for expression, in tandem with my work as a composer, I re-embraced an earlier passion for sculptural spaces, transitioning into a multidisciplinary artistic vision of immersive installations infused with music. 

I am essentially drawn to material and light that convey an ephemeral fluidity – within space, form, or line. I explore mixed media and repurposed materials. Through spatial juxtapositions of balance, concealment, containment, and suspended motion, these energetically charged relationships become emotionally animated. 

In addition to fabricating stand-alone sculptures, my vision is to create contemplative spaces that resonate with my music to tap into a deep primal fluidity of subliminal connections and emotional responses. The combined qualities of illumination, motion, video, and music infuse a transformative energy into the spiritual and physical aspects of these spaces. 

Artistic Process

This Sculptural Portfolio consists of studio "still life" stagings and video visualizations for multidisciplinary, large-scale mixed-media installations, to include elements of illumination, kinetic components, video, and original music.  Also shown, are intimate-scale renderings for the fabrication of stand-alone sculptures.

My process is to assemble small-scale stagings for the proposed large-scale immersive installations. These envisioned spaces are then documented through photographs and/or videos with audio tracks excerpted from my original orchestral or chamber compositions. Through the video visualizations I want to convey an emotional sense of spatial immersion and scale. 

I am excited to be moving into this new creative realm and am looking forward to being able to bring these concepts to full-scale, and hopefully, “awe-inspiring,” realization.
