Physical DescriptionSculpture, "Space resonates regardless of our presence (Wednesday)". Colorless glass, stainless steel, brass, white paint, LED lamp, cable, ballast; assembled. The central component of sculpture is a ring of beveled colorless glass, which was originally part of a Fresnel lens. An LED, hung from the end of a steel bracket that supports the glass ring, shines light back towards the ring, which acts as a prism and creates concentric bands of light onto a wall.
