GLASS SCULPTURES
it's not worth me showing you what i saw today because the only picture i've got is just rubbish, so i'm going to have to tell you about it instead and that's not going to be very easy because i'm only just sorting it out in my head.
well, i was in this art gallery and there was some sculptures made of square pieces of glass that made up waves of translucent colour.
how they can produce a brochure of art and use a shit picture i don't know. oh sylvia, why did you fuck up on that?
anways, the best way to explain it is in what the artist said, so here, stolen, are the words of gunta anita krumins:
"memories are fragile. we can only catch glimpses of them. they constantly shift and change; we seem to be able to catch them in the palms of our hands and yet, simultaneously they carry enormous and cathartic weight.
"glass acts as a perfect foil for memory. glass carries extraordinary conceptual richness expressed through transparency and translucence, fragility and transience.
"through these pieces i have captured memories of my own; hopes, losses, loves where each stilled strip creates a narrative. they refract my life, part heavy, part light - pulled together they are just an instance in the flow of things."
go and see it a leicester's city gallery, granby street.
