Detalles
The glass sculptures in Iran do Espirito Santo's Restless series, make use of reflective surfaces to invoke a sense of displacement in the viewer. Restless 14 is a single thick plate with meticulous rectangles sandblasted onto the surface and inlaid with a mirror. The rectangular glass sheet is set on the floor and leaning against the walls, suggesting a lively spatial interplay. The glass incorporates various reflective surfaces comprised of mirrored and sandblasted areas. From a distance the work creates a dazzling illusion of multiple panes stacked against the wall. Espirito Santo urges the viewer to mediate on form, function, whilst representation embracing dualities, ambiguities and humor.
