Almost four months after placing her first illuminated glass sculpture in downtown Concord, local artist Katlyn “Kat” Cornelius is back at it with a bigger and brighter sculpture.
Kat Cornelius said the idea of light, prisms and reflection were major concepts for this piece. She wants people to interact with the Meta sculpture and take a moment to reflect on the way it makes them feel.
The color glass portions are made of items Kat Cornelius and her husband found at second-hand stores across the Concord and greater Charlotte area. Cornelius said she wanted to preserve the original texture of the glass, like the handle seen poking out from the sculpture at the bottom of the red layer.
The name for the sculpture has several meanings, but Kat Cornelius said that one of the reasons she named the sculpture "Meta" is because it's a representation of how she views herself.
