ALTAR’D SLATE (2021)
by Jay Jermyn
Frosted Glass, Aluminium, Acrylic, LED, Slate
96h x 24w x 6d cm
$3200.00 AUD
By compiling objects that have material contrast (glass, slate and aluminium) a palpable tension between delicacy and robustness ensues. While these materials are hard their connection elicits a feeling of material uncertainty. Slates strength, for example, seems at odds to the fragility of glass, this work offers a representation of nature that implies a balance of fragility and function—but only slightly so.
