Over the course of her career, HELEN PASHGIAN has produced a significant series of sculptures comprised of vibrantly colored columns, lenses, and spheres, which often feature an isolated element appearing suspended, embedded, or encased within them. Using an innovative application of industrial epoxies, plastics and resins, Pashgian’s works are characterized by their translucent surfaces that appear to filter and somehow contain illumination.
This book will document Pashgian’s vast body of work, dating from the 1960s to now, with historic and new photographs of the artist’s spheres and lenses. An essay by John Yau and a well-researched chronology are also included.
