Kerrick Johnson

Kerrick Johnson es un artista del vidrio que organizar la forma, tamaño, color y colocación de vidrio en su conjunto. La primera parte del proceso implica la eliminación de la superficie del vidrio esmerilado por fuera utilizando técnicas de trabajo en frío que datan de siglos anteriores, son prácticamente desconocidas hoy en día. Estas técnicas le permiten crear canales ópticos y lentes que refractan la luz y el color lo que logra una experiencia visual diferente a la de otros de vidrios de escultura moderna.





Kerrick Johnson:"In my work, I orchestrate the shape, size, color and placement of clear glass together, creating a balanced piece of sculpture that interacts with the viewer’s eye in surprising ways. The first part of the process involves carefully removing the surface by grinding the glass away using centuries-old cold-working techniques that are virtually unheard of today. These techniques allow me to create optical lenses and channels that refract both light and color for a visual experience unlike other modern glass sculpture.

Finally, I cradle the sculpted piece of glass in a solid, stainless steel base that I’ve custom-fabricated to fit that specific piece of glass. This creates a seamless, clean and finished piece of sculpture that is a pleasure to view from all angles."
