Sula Bermudez-Silverman (she/her)

6

Sula Bermudez-Silverman’s work draws on the histories of found objects, taking something that may seem familiar and reframing it. She made the sculptures on view here by blowing glass into iron tools. These include horse stirrups, different kinds of traps, and a bull nose puller. 

La obra de Sula Bermudez-Silverman parte de las historias de objetos encontrados, redefiniendo algo que parecería familiar. Creó las esculturas expuestas aquí soplando vidrio con herramientas de hierro. Estas incluyen estribos para caballos, diferentes tipos de trampas y unas pinzas de nariz de toro.
