The subtle iconography of Annesta Le’s work is formed by drawing on themes of transformation, duality and alchemy. Working with neon, painting and raw materials, Le approaches each piece organically and in the moment by heating delicate glass tubes over the flame of a ribbon burner. Each curve is hand molded, becoming an extension of her movement. The result is a reflection of her own internal image captured in physical form. Her art is dynamic in its creation – an open, experimental, unpredictable method, balancing the intentional and unintentional.
