PHOTOS BY NANCY SMITH – OPENING PREVIEW / SEPT 19, 2023:
DANA ARBIB . . . designs & works with a professional glass-blowing team, to hand-craft each piece. the glow of the minimalist colorways, along with the subtle ‘organic’ embellishments – is insane / just check out her golden, light-infused wall sconce, on the left.
DANA ARBIB . . . table lamp, in ‘Vetro Orto’ / ‘The Glass Vegetable Garden’.
DANA ARBIB, generous but not . . pedestrian.
more: glowing, and . . . growing. open, but secretive.
DANA ARBIB, total beauty, even . . on a rumpled white tablecloth.
DANA ARBIB, even the simply clear pieces, held great . . . magic.
DANA ARBIB. the sconce / light fixture, is a very old form of fixture (to a wall), historically used with candles & oil lamps. they work beautifully here, and throughout the toned-down, retro Americana Tiwa space, in classic pairs.
DANA ARBIB, from garden, to kitchen, to . . . books.
this illumination, is of a gentle narrative touch – via glass: a most fiery, powerful, and difficult medium.
DANA ARBIB: an alchemy. a poem. a luminous, glowing, seemingly . . growing, kitchen celery, of the mind !!
