Glass Eats Light is a quote from the renowned Swedish glass artist Bertil Vallien. The properties of glass are many, it is brittle but incredibly strong, it can be transparent but also opaque, and it can alter light, reflecting, bending or absorbing.
Light, crucial to the artist, its what enables us to see, so when it is distorted it distorts reality, glass in many ways is like film and video its properties are much the same as both need light to function properly.
