HARRY SEAGER

Constellar, 2004
Sheet glass, wood and steel
69cm x 39cm x 39cm


My sculptures use plate glass, a principal material of architecture, which opens limitless possibilities of space, scale and light. In this work I was experimenting with wood and other materials along with glass to compress light through the density of the structures. I enjoy the play of mass and weight and darkness against thinness, light and movement.
