"Plywood - a humble yet beautiful material: strong, light, and readily available for most projects. In Thank You by Damien Hoar de Galvan, plywood pieces are built upon each other, forming custom cavities for books to fit into. Layers of meaning breathe life into the mundane, the collection of which renders it quite extraordinary in full view. Usually kept neatly in a row on a bookshelf, each tome has its own special home."
"This iridescent, shimmering pillow by artist Colin Roberts is one-of-a-kind yet also one of many, his works surrounding the contrast of stillness, softness, and sharpness. A rich blend of culture, humor, and technicality, his works shed light on the human experience - and refract it as well. Taking a soft volume and not only shifting its transparency, but creating light on the walls."
"Sven Sauer blends broken glass and model trains in his piece DEVIATION, fusing a multitude of seemingly incongruous elements into one immersive installation. Now here's where it gets interesting - the placement and color of the lights drastically affects the overall look, beholden to the multitude of surrounding shards. DEVIATION illuminates how much we influence each other, asking, "Is the world really as dark as we perceive it to be right now?""
Several artists repurpose everyday materials to create evocative objects and installations. Damien Hoar de Galvan assembles plywood layers into custom cavities that cradle books, imparting layered meaning to ordinary volumes. Misako Nakahira weaves translucency and color in the Unlayered Series, merging hand and eye to produce optical depth. Colin Roberts crafts iridescent textiles and pillows that shift transparency and cast light, juxtaposing softness with sharpness. Sven Sauer combines broken glass and model trains in DEVIATION, using colored light placement to alter perception. McMahon employs sprayed paper pulp to form thin-walled lamps embedding botanicals that diffuse warm light.
