Artist Statement:
An Investigation into Curious
Opulence. My current
investigation into Curious
Opulence focuses on critical
inquiry surrounding the
solidification of light and
its transient nature through
perceptual shifts. This has
been informed by the recent
scientific discovery of atoms
(the fundamental building
blocks of both matter and
negative space) being ninety
nine percent empty. While
eluding the human eye, the
atom reveals in its nature
unseen connections between
perception and reality. I have
explored prism-like lenses and
bubbles as a metaphor for
optically impossible and
complex spaces that the modern
notion of the atom quantifies.
These resemble fragmented
parts that originate from
unique and baroque spherical
forms. I have chosen to use
materials that innately
reflect beauty and value, such
as blown, mirrored, silvered
and dichroic glass. These
materials have the ability to
shift perception through
reflecting and refracting
light. Dichroic glass was
produced by NASA to coat the
visor of space suit helmets,
in order to protect the human
eye from harmful ultra violet
and infra red light, emanating
from natural light sources in
deep space. It is thought to
be one of the most precious
and valuable developments in
glass technology to date.
