Segmented Glass Forms Allude to Cellular Structures #ArtTuesday

Cells divide. Glass doesn’t. But Jiyong Lee has created beautiful glass objects that echo the structure of cells. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:

From a young age, artist and educator Jiyong Lee (previously) was fascinated with biological processes. He grew up paging through medical illustration books, amazed by cells and how life starts with the proliferation of just one. Lee’s ongoing Segmentation series is an ode to cell division and the obscurities of life science that can only be viewed with a microscope.

Finishing the surface with grinding and polishing, a partially translucent exterior both obscures and reveals parts of what lies within each fragile structure. Evoking compositions similar to embryonic configurations, Lee explains, “I think how life starts with a cell is amazing. A cell divides millions of times, and each part of the cell and embryo knows exactly what they are supposed to become in the body. With the material and techniques that I use, I create a sculptural glass object that has biomorphic or geometric forms that have complex internal structures inside”
