The Corning Museum of Glass unveiled its 2013 Rakow Commission: Ghost Walk under Infinite Darkness by Andrew Erdos.
For the Rakow Commission, Erdos pushed the scale of his two-way mirrored boxes with mirrored and dichroic glass sculptures and colored murrine to create an overwhelming sensory experience, a setting of hyper-beauty. “When all your senses are activated is oftentimes when there is a moment of clarity,” says Erdos. The titles of Erdos’ works often reference ghosts and time, which he considers to be core fascinations of humans as physically intangible but always present entities and emanations.
