MURMUR
Stephen Glassman

“ These suspended sculptures ultimately manifest as chandeliers – the territory of spectacle in our private architectural space. In the end they are meditations on migration. We have all migrated here.

“Each and every feather piece is conceived as a contribution to a single tumbling swarm of feathers in a global wind. It is a conceptual and ongoing site specific project celebrating our shared atmosphere and our universal vulnerability as human beings.

As a gesture it’s an effort to embed an image of hope in our collective social landscapes.” “
- Stephen Glassman

MURMUR is a site specific installation of “drawing through space”; of suspended sculpture, drawing, and print by LA based artist Stephen Glassman.

Glassman creates an evocative and immersive domain where feathers act as calligraphic blades that carve conceptual forms of resilience, migration, and the intertwining of human imagination with the natural world.

The artworks include suspended tensile amalgams crafted from enameled bamboo, brass, feathers, and light – that hover ethereally in the space - each a distinct, piece that captures his practice of transforming raw material into resonant spatial strikes. 

hope is a thing of feathers…
