"If one were to take the art of Charisse Weston at face value, there would be plenty to deal with. Her sculptures are made of a variety of materials that include, in one piece, an inkjet print on canvas, 220 grit silicone carbide, shattered glass, slumped Mirropane, Solarcool breeze surveillance glass, shattered tempered glass, metal end cap, epoxy, ink and acrylic paint."
"The glass is sometimes folded in a kiln and combined with the other materials in a way that demands attention (and, it should be noted, a certain caution when examining the fragile results). The sculptures have, as art advisor and collector Angelica Semmelbauer observes, a primal monumentality and vulnerability all at once. Like seeing a scarf caught in the wind, but tactile with a rigid geometry that also flows."
Charisse Weston constructs sculptures from diverse industrial and found materials, often combining kiln-formed and shattered glass with prints, abrasives, metals, epoxy, inks and paint. The glass is folded or slumped in a kiln and integrated with other components, producing fragile, attention-demanding objects that require caution when examined. The works convey a dual quality of primal monumentality and delicate vulnerability, generating tactile contrasts between rigid geometry and flowing forms. Titles and embedded references point toward layered backstories and hidden meanings. Her pieces are exhibited in gallery settings and attract close viewing and collector interest.
