Quote of the Week

"The pieces chiefly focus on depicting the human form - each one pensive, still and surreal - an almost stoic quality contrasting the fragile associations connected with the artwork's ingredients."
seated glass figure', 2012
broken glass, resin by Daniel Arsham

This quote points out the irony in this piece of work. The work itself seems very hard and sturdy while the quality of the medium is fragile. It also does have a surreal mood to it. I admire the amount of work and time the artist put into this piece and how many cuts he must have gotten from the glass!
