Featuring two of Kelly Wall’s large, impressive stained-glass sculptures—the first a fusion of two reclining beach chairs and the second an awning—this show becomes an experience with light through the artist’s medium. With “Star” placed across the face of the awning, the word is echoed on the wall in a light yellow, changing throughout the day and evening. Standing under the sculpture, visitors can read both poetic and humorous phrases written into the glass on its inside, such as “just me and my shadow,” “heavy window pain,” and “burnt out,” reminiscent of the scrawled notes on the bottom of a student’s desk, as if the artist etched these phrases while tired during the creation of this labor-intensive work. At first glance, the sculpture of conjoined mass-produced chairs doesn’t look like glass and is somewhat surreal, a testament to the artist’s skill and craft.
