Glass. Beads. Millions of glass beads… and in the case of that white “rope”, a “Continuous Mile” of glass beads. This is the absolutely stunning work of Los Angeles based artist Liza Lou. According to her website, Liza “utilizes glass beads as an index of intensive labor”. Mission accomplished.
Who would believe it possible to comment on the troubles of our world in such a strong & clear way using glass beads?!!!! Its years since I saw Lou’s work – it’s still strong in my minds eye
