Marble Galaxy
Marble Galaxy
One theme that Mary Lou Corn favors above all others is the circle. In her home, her sculpture garden, and in her paintings the circle is a favorite feature. Added to this, a lifelong love of glass, and we have this abstract, yet realistic painting of spherical marbles which seem to float in space. For this painting, she looked at actual marbles from her collection, as well as designs that are inspired by marble design alone. The background allows the illusion of looking into a three dimensional world of solid glass, suspended in a harmony of transparent reflections.
