Quartz at Faith Space



Quartz (2009) a sculpture made out of thin paper and coated in clear varnish so when lit up, it gives the illusion of glowing crystals. Quartz initially looks reasonably well constructed and grand the way its lit up as it would be in a museum or one of those naff new age crystal shops but the shape is a simple dumb down version of a crystal, neither is it solid and dense but hollow, flimsy and hand made. The light also high lights the tabs and joins and brush strokes which shows the viewer how the sculpture was made.
