Ultraviolet light bonded low iron glass
Long fascinated by Josef Albers Structural Constellation series.
The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation granted us access to their catalogue raisonné of preparatory drawings and related works.
What to make of these obsessive sketches and extraordinary images so laden with potential?
Literally plans of objects from a parallel universe.
We compulsively draw and habitually make as a necessity.
How else for us to make sense of these austere enigmas?
Only the most transparent glass ... no opaque framing ... just slender edge holding surface.
Fragile structures sustained at the intrinsic limits of the material.
Challenging to draw ... fiendishly difficult to make ... apparently demanding to photograph.
No up nor down just shimmering planes of ambiguity.
Parallel lines that travel in both directions at once.
Brief moments of convergence and clarity that dissolve into dazzling complexities.
