Mela M
The Temple of Fire at the Event Horizon

2021

About the Item

Mela M’s sculptures are her interpretation of the seamless interconnectedness of light and material form and reference the pronounced uncertainty and unpredictability of our rapidly changing world. In her work, she seeks to both describe and inform the journey we are on. The ominously aggressive sharp and angled forms are in stark contrast to the radiance of the shockingly brilliant colors. And yet these irregular and uncommon shapes and colors create a balance in their chaotic asymmetry. There is an order and visual harmony that transcends the seemingly incongruous pairings. Simultaneously referencing the physical (some unknowable form) and an intangible (light), the sculptures are exuberant and playful. Their absolutely impeccable execution belies the human hand behind their creation and yet these forms could only be the product of an artist’s boundless imagination. Mela M’s work is a guide, or perhaps an edict, to cultivate a more enlightened relationship between art, science, the planet, and the universe. There is a sense that within the chaos is order and within order, chaos. And that in this balance is the true stuff of life.

  • Helios Revealed
    By Toland Sand
    Located in Fairfield, CT
    I think of myself as an artist who is enthusiastic about architecture, color, and light. As a curious guy with a degree in philosophy, I had no idea where this journey would take me when a friend of mine gave me his stained glass business in 1977. And so it’s been an incredible exploration of all the qualities that make up glass as a medium. I’ve grown up artistically with what is called the modern glass movement. I’ve been inspired by my peers as well as by artists such as Isamu Noguchi, David Smith, Henry Moore, and Mark Rothko. I inhabit the symbolic, the cosmic, and the mystery. I love that images can come and go, are made bold, and then disappear; are reflective and then not. The energetic and mystical side comes from the teachings of my spiritual Master, Sant Kirpal Singh, by whose instructions I meditate every day in my personal effort to connect to and be receptive to the vibration of the mysteries. Calligraphy has always been attractive to me. Eastern ideograms. Greek letters. Arabic writing. So keeping those in mind I feel free to create my own symbols that at once have meaning in their elegance as graphics and at once maintaining the sense that language and lettering can lead one into other consciousnesses and cultures; other ways of seeing things and their interconnectedness, that can be startling and fascinating. Two years in Taiwan as a child and five years in Athens, Greece as a teenager gave me the sense of otherness and the exploration thereof. How can one not be affected by marble ruins...
