Statement

“My recent body of work centers on the power and intrigue of horizons.  Each horizon line tells a story and evokes an emotion.  It is the place where colors, textures and forms meet and define their existence.  It is that upon which all animals orient themselves; how we gain real and imagined perspective. Within this intersection of ground and sky, there is energy, space and ambiance. The Between possesses an abundance of nothing and an absence of everything.

The wheel, connecting past to future, knowledge to intuition, minutes to centuries, planting to harvest is always moving forward. The form tapered and balanced implies infinity within boundaries. Glass, both liquid and solid, becomes water, sky, and light. Concrete, industrial and earthy, grounds the ethereal. Within stimulation and tranquility lies permanence and transience.

Through carefully controlled glass-casting techniques, I am able to give the glass the appearance of water, sky or clouds. The tapered ends of the sculptures are intended to imply that the landscape continues beyond the piece.”

Langston has also been infusing photographic images into glass both plate and cast glass.
