"To see one of David Huchthausen’s creations in print is a visual feast. But like a picture of a fine meal, satisfying the eyes but not the palate, something is missing from the experience. Indeed, it is only when you walk around his sculpture, watching the patterns of colors diffuse, reflect, shrink, and magnify that you see that the art is at once both cold and warm, confined and free, static and dynamic, vibrant and mysterious. And when you start to see how the light reflected through the glass interacts with your movement around it, you begin to understand how limiting the two-dimensional space is in presenting his work.
To move around one of Huchthausen’s pieces is to literally see it in a new light, as each is designed to be viewed from any and every angle, and each and every angle reveals a new and different facet, as the colors reflect and refract in countless ways. Each piece is a study of the interaction of light and color with the abstract shapes and carefully placed lenses and fractures" |
