Ekin Deniz Aytac and Joshua Davids return with new entries in their unique body of work. Continuing within the ‘Cityscape’ motif in which traditional vessel forms are manipulated into unconventional objects, this new series of sculptures place an increased emphasis on pattern, color, and contrast to elicit profound expression in glass art. Taking inspiration from art deco design elements that became herald of the age of the modern city. Each artwork is meticulously crafted, built up through layers of hot glass color and then deconstructed in the cold shop to reveal a final form. As our cities, as well as those of the past, have become monuments to the cultures that built them, each object speaks to the formative power of the individual contributing to the evolution of an environment containing sublime immensity.
