Meditative Algorithms, 2009 by Michael Taylor

My review of Michael Taylor’s exhibition of recent glass sculptures “A Unity of Opposites” hits newsstands literal and virtual today. Here’s a short excerpt:

All of Taylor’s work appears to depict serial movement via a motionless media, as if he began with geometric shapes, flung them through the air, photographed them à la Eadweard Muybridge, and then created his own sculptural interpretation of that process. Taylor’s “Escalating Spiral” uses clear glass wedges with turquoise highlighting to give form to a swinging, swaying, barrel-roll motion, while “Candidate Sequences for CJ” presents us with a clear half-circle, outlined in citrus orange and heavy red, careening off into space and time.

Read the full review at the CITY website, and see the exhibition at the Memorial Art Gallery, through June 28, 2009.
