Laura returned from six months as an artist-in-residence in Morocco searching for a way to combine Islamic art with Western contemporary graphics. The result was a series of kinetic sculptures, each consisting of a neon tube shaped into a different Islamic motif and rotating at a speed controllable by a rheostat, producing complex, overlapping images. Images of four of these sculptures, constructed in the early 1970s, are shown here. Laura took a very different approach to kinetic neon in the 1977 work, Womb.
