The Meltforms exhibition consists of a series of glass and metal sculptural lightboxes illuminated with internal LED lights. Daniele Albright began working with glass in 2017, attracted to its natural beauty and luminous qualities. Various colors of glass are melted and then poured onto a metal plate, where they are folded into each other while still molten and then rolled through a steel mill to flatten them into sheets, creating unique patterns as the colors fuse and flow into distinct fluid patterns.
The sequencing of similar but non-continuous imagery into organic wholes using multiple parts relates to a common theme in Daniele Albright’s art practice. In visual perception, the pattern-making inclinations of the mind naturally favor the creation of connection over discontinuity. Visual patternmaking and connection is connected to larger cognitive processes in general, and subconsciously informs how we understand the world. Luminosity, pattern and color are primal while also being phenomena that lead us into higher states of mind.
Each work is unique.
