The Machinery of Heaven: glass sculpture by Steven Easton
Location:
Fuller Craft Museum 455 Oak Street
Glass artist Steven Easton will use Fuller Craft's Merton Tarlow gallery as an environment to explore his ideas about portraits, classical antiquity, religion, science and the natural world. This exhibition has challenged Easton to take his ideas–which up to this point have been manifested in individual objects—to a larger, more inclusive, and ultimately more compelling scope and scale. As Easton explains, “Nature and its beauty is the foundation of my work – energy and matter, in myriad forms, whirl in a complicated dance that is a celebration of life. Celestial bodies, moving inexorably through the heavens, hum in rhythm with the beating of our own hearts. Everything is connected and has meaning. This belief is infinitely reassuring as we humans move through time.”
