Damian Lights The Way with New Art
Thu, December 6, 2012
Tomorrow evening the Image Factory is launching a new exhibit by sculptor and assemblage designer, Damian Perdomo.

The exhibit is called "Luminous," where Perdomo experiments with the behavior of light on glass and other reflective and transparent mediums.

And, if you're scratching your head trying to figure out what we're talking about, we dropped by the Image Factory and got a preview of his pieces:

Damien Perdomo, Artist
""Luminous" is a show involving artwork that uses light, either it produces light or it reflects light in some way. I really wanted to investigate the limitations of glass and with working with glass you have to be extremely patient; the minute you try to rush the job it breaks on you especially when it comes to drilling holes in glass - if there is too much pressure or too much heat or vibration from you equipment it breaks and you have to start at square one."

"It was very tricky. A lot of time I would connect a wire super securely only to find out that I didn't run the wire through the object, so the trick is to figure it out. Once you figure it out then the result si what you see here. Some of the pieces are water pieces; playing on the property of water - it reflects light around it, so some of them are water pieces and some of them involve actual lights; electricity and some are just reflective materials like mirrors and paintings with glitters - everything is light related."

The exhibit is scheduled to open at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
