Artist of the week: Liza Lou


axis defeat 2007-2008 glass beads on aluminum panel 108×66 inches (for a detailed picture of the bead work click here)
maximum security 2007-2008 Steel, glass beads 23.5' square x 80" h

I've subscribed to Art in America for years, but seldom ever find the time to read most of my issues. Luckily, I recently read an article on the amazing Liza Lou. How she creates such works of art out of glass beads is simply incredible.
