✨ Thaddeus Mosley’s exhibition Glass at Karma in New York presents small-scale glass sculptures made between 2010 and 2013. Known for his carved wood sculptures, Mosley began assembling found glass fragments collected from a Pittsburgh bottle factory decades earlier. Working with variations in texture, color, and weight, he balances translucent and opaque forms that refract light and emphasize mass, gravity, and spatial structure.
Visiting Thaddeus Mosley's Glass exhibition at Karma offers a fascinating glimpse into the artist's innovative use of found materials, particularly glass fragments collected from a Pittsburgh bottle factory. Having long been celebrated for his carved wood sculptures, Mosley’s transition to glass showcases his ability to manipulate diverse textures and transparencies. The way these small-scale sculptures play with light is truly captivating — the combination of translucent and opaque glass refracts light in unexpected ways, creating dynamic visual effects that change with the viewer’s perspective and the surrounding environment. What stood out to me was how Mosley emphasizes the physicality and weight of the materials, making these delicate fragments feel substantial and grounded. The idea that these shards, once discarded waste, are now transformed into art that conveys mass, gravity, and spatial presence is inspiring. It invites reflection on the lifecycle of materials and the creative potential lying in overlooked objects. If you love art that challenges perceptions and explores the relationship between natural elements and artistry, this exhibition is definitely worth a visit. Plus, Karma provides a welcoming space where you can experience these sculptural forms up close without any entry fee. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about creative reuse and innovative sculpture, you’ll find Mosley’s work inspiring and thought-provoking.
