blood cell stress lens

blood cell stress lens, wood, sculpted glass, 4.5-inch video screen, media player, 60in x 72in x 6in,  2023

Blood cell stress lens incorporates various source footage of glass under stress through a polarizing film, taken by the artist. The video footage is distorted in blood-cell, clotted lenses within a wood body mounted to the wall. Through this distortion, the viewer’s understanding of the image they see is simplified to rainbow colors, masking the polarized stress and fracture of the glass within.
