Diana: Solarium at the Storm King Art Center
Artist William Lamson created this prismatic greenhouse out of 162 panels of sugar cooked to different temperatures. Lamson bakes the sugar until is caramelizes, closely monitoring the color. He then pours the syrup onto a pane of heated glass and as it cools he places another piece of glass on top. The glass "sandwich" is then sealed with silicone. A very cool concept using common materials in an unconventional way! The installation is part of the Light and Landscape exhibition at New York's Storm King Art Center on view until November 11th, 2012. View this video to hear Lamson explain the concept in depth.
