Christina Massey will be exhibiting her mixed media glass and repurposed aluminum sculptures in a new colorful installation that activates the UrbanGlass Window Gallery. Created at UrbanGlass with a grant from the Brooklyn Arts Foundation in 2019, this series is a more representational selection of her larger body of work. The work addresses the potential effects of climate change on vegetation over time due to industries like fracking. The works have an oddness and mysteriousness to them, almost acting like crystal balls, where we look within for answers which are obstructed by reflections and patterns which distract us with their aesthetic beauty.
