Light Through a Glass Spring
Light through a glass spring features work by artists Cynthia Goodman Brantley and Emily Selvin. Emily’s translucent glass and Cynthia’s glowing drawings play with mixing non-literal forms and perceived function. Both artists embrace openness in their pieces, and leave their work available to viewers’ analysis.
Oftentimes Emily encourages audience members to play with her sculptures and relive childhood memories, breathing new movement into her pieces and bringing them to life. Cynthia carefully explores light and color, repeatedly finding herself in love with transparency. Both artists toy with the idea of form and function, finding the intersection of logic and whimsy in each imperfection in the glass or curve of a gradient.
Through Emily’s form-inspired objects and Cynthia’s light-driven drawings, we find a space with few anchors. Each set of eyes that find themselves hovering on their work will read it differently than the person before, a welcomed experience by both artists. The light that travels through both of their pieces carries a whimsical freedom of exploration with it, and helps carry the viewer to a playful, non-goal oriented space.
