Lara Knutson is an Artist, Industrial Designer and Architect who works in New York City near MoMA PS1. She received a master’s degree in Industrial Design and a bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Pratt Institute and believes her work is informed by the interplay of light, space, materials and structure that unite these two disciplines.
Lara’s work is sold in design stores and museum shops around the world, including MoMA and the Cooper Hewitt. Her soft glass series is in the permanent collections of the Corning Museum of Glass and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. |
ARTIST STATEMENT
I make light look three dimensional and mix color in space. Light itself looks like something that can be touched and even inhaled. As the viewer moves around space, objects create pulses of otherworldly light and sometimes even make rainbows. People are transported and curious trying to figure out what they are seeing. The different phenomena created and technology used allow for a broad range of work from miniature to massive scales. Nothing is static or fixed; everything is immersive and experiential as the surfaces are playing with volume and our eyes' perception. My innovation is a completely new way of making light.
