""I realized you can manipulate your experience of the world around you by filtering light," she says. "On an overcast day, you put on colored goggles to perceive depth better; on a sunny day you use reflective goggles.""
""I always want to be involved in the process so I understand how to disrupt it," she says, asking, "How can you get more and more out of a material every time?""
""mess up your perception of your panorama.""
Marcelis was born in the Netherlands, raised in New Zealand, and worked as a semiprofessional snowboarder before studying industrial design. Mountain experiences informed an interest in filtering light to alter perception. She began design study in Wellington, transferred to Design Academy Eindhoven, and developed close relationships with manufacturers. Early work included a glass table that shifted between transparent and opaque, made by a factory that later produced her Mirage mirrors. Large, site-specific projects and private commissions employ glass, solar glass, resin, and kinetic elements to change how viewers perceive and use spaces.
