For twenty years, the glass bead has been Liza Lou’s primary art-making
material. Lou transforms the possibilities of this tiny unit of color
and embellishment just as she expands the meaning of the objects she
recreates.
Color Field (2010-2013), her newest floor-bound
sculpture, features an expansive prism of color. The gridded rainbow is
composed of uniform lengths of wire, each threaded with a single shade
of beads. The sheer expanse of the piece conveys exuberance, underscored
by the work’s bounty: its multitude of colors, beads, and touch.
Pulsing and pixelated, Color Field’s complex mosaic foregrounds
its construction and the network of hands which helped shape it.
