Ayala Serfaty
Medium: Ceramic, glass tubing, polymer membrane
Dimensions: 17 in high x 15 in wide x 15 in depth
Ayala Serfaty creates her extraordinary lights by laying a diaphanous membrane (created by weaving together hundreds upon hundreds of polymer strings) over a unique structural webbing of thin, blown glass tubes. Like her other pieces, Serfaty’s lights are gestural—imitative not only of natural forms, like those found in crystals, but of living ones, like those of seabed plants.
