Toots Zynsky "Crossing Lines"
Barry Friedman Ltd.
This event has ended.
Utilizing her signature filet de verre technique, which she developed in 1982, Zynsky creates richly-colored sculptures through the construction of fused and thermo-formed glass threads. Each unique piece is composed of multiple layers of colored glass fibers that are heated, slumped and formed first in a mold, then freely by hand. Zynsky shapes glass as if it were a fluid fabric. Stretched, twisted, and compressed abstract forms fold in on themselves, undulating and shifting as light illuminates the bold color and delicate striations within. Exterior surfaces with vibrant strokes and dynamic gestural qualities are often juxtaposed with interiors of subtly muted monotones. This exhibition features new organic multi-colored glass sculptures, as well as rare elongated pieces from the artist’s Chaos series of the early and mid-1990s.
