The prismatic glass sculptures of Graham Caldwell will astound people as much as the previous his previous works. But instead of reflecting the world around him with a series of fragmented mirrors, the Florida-based artist has turned his eye towards natural formations that could easily be likened to myopic organisms.
Taking on a range of shapes, the prismatic glass sculptures often focuses on the act of perceiving. He writes, "Much of my work focuses on glass as a conduit or modulating agent for light and its parallel in the functionality of the human eye: using a lens to flip an image of the world, upside down and backwards, into the brain where it is reassembled, through illusion and forensics."
