“What do you do when something is broken into a thousand pieces? Try to repair it into a distorted facsimile of what it once was? Throw it away? Or do you mix it with something surprising and transform it into the unexpected? That is what my work is about. Transformation. I take shattered safety glass that has been broken from sources that range from auto windows, demolished churches, and broken-out storefronts to the dustbins of hardware stores and fuse it with chocolate wrappers. I then re-form this into captivating objects embodied with a sense of lightness and reflected intimate space that belies its tragic origins. The result is a metaphorical analogy to the vicissitudes of life and a visual commentary on the relative value we place on time, relationship, and materialism.” Greg Larson has a degree in Art from the University of California, Santa Cruz and has studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. as well as Japan.
