Moira Dryer, Beverly Pepper, Laura de Santillana:
Material / Immaterial

Fair Catalogue

"It does not have to do with 'truth'—it has to do with the meeting of the material and the immaterial."
Laura de Santillana

"James Barron Art’s three-person booth features the works of Moira Dryer, Beverly Pepper, and Laura de Santillana, whose striking hand-blown glass sculptures are prominently displayed against the window...

This natural light also plays a crucial role in enhancing the presence of Pepper’s sculptures, such as Chiusura Lampo (1968), a stainless steel work that resonates with the transient, ethereal qualities of de Santillana’s glass creations."

At Its 15th Edition, Independent Celebrates Its Past and Looks to the Future

“The idea is that from whatever angle you view it, the void seems filled and the solids seem empty.”
Beverly Pepper

“Two images recur throughout [my] work: those of loss and desire.”
Moira Dryer

"It contains nothing, but it’s still a container, a vessel. It contains color and light. I say, look at the glass in a different way.”
Laura de Santillana
