Butterfly Effect
2017 · GlassA skin of glass drawn into peaks and folds, then opened where the surface gives way — the whole form balanced on the edge of holding together.

Studio · Alexander Lozano
Alexander Lozano works in glass, drawn to the moment the material is pushed past its limits — caught mid-collapse, folded into membranes, or left to bleed with pigment. One body of work went participatory: pieces a viewer could fold, cut, sew, or write on. Throughout, the work draws attention to the quiet relationships between people, objects, and the spaces they move through.

Cobalt bleeding into a pale wash across a soft pink ground — pigment and surface left to find their own edge.
