Crystal Wonderland 2 is an installation of sculpture and drawing created with altered pieces of commercial glass. Through his use of commercial glass, Geyer references its design for architectural purposes while activating its history of being a material substitute for mind and vision through its links with phenomenology and alchemy.
Robert Geyer is a faculty member of Alberta College of Art & Design teaching in the Glass, Liberal Studies and Sculpture Departments. Geyer earned his BA at Simon Fraser University, BFA at the Emily Carr University in Vancouver and his MFA from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. He is interested in utilizing the unexpected properties of readily available materials. Glass is a material that has a commonplace commercial usage in architecture and telecommunications and also has a strong historical association with phenomenological possibilities making it an ideal material in his practice.
His current practice is based on making objects and installations that utilize the distinct properties of glass to create a tension between sculptural form and subtle phenomena through the interplay of light, colour and visual perception.
