Tatyana Murray's layered glass works immerse the viewer in an ethereal construction of light, exploring the fragility of nature and the dissonance between man-made and natural. In her most recent “Tree of Light” series, Murray creates floating images through the physically laborious process of drilling and etching on each transparent sheet of glass, which are then stacked one upon the other. Murray’s mark making is revealed only through the refraction of LED light, elevating the industrial materials to a spiritual meditation. It is only through the light itself that the floating image reveals itself, illuminating each tree by rendering it into a transcendental state.
