Dans la Lune: Kirsten Hassenfeld at Rice GalleryDans la Lune, a new installation by New York artist Kirsten Hassenfeld, is on view at Rice University Art Gallery through December 9.
Hassenfeld uses paper, the most ordinary of materials, to create ornate, obsessively detailed sculptures that have been characterized as "extravaganzas of the handmade."
For Dans la Lune (a French idiom referencing day-dreaming) large structures, resembling gigantic droplets or the onion domes of Russian architecture, are draped with clusters and strands of faceted, gem-like forms.
Lit from within, they transform the gallery into a glowing treasure trove.
