August Muth's holographic light works debut at parrasch heijnen
parrasch heijnen presents August Muth: Material Light, the gallery's first solo exhibition with Santa Fe-based artist August Muth (b. 1955, Albuquerque, NM). Muth has spent his life cultivating holography, capturing light in tangible form through uniquely created light-sensitive emulsions on glass. His fluid constellations of geometric forms shift, overlap, and disperse relative to viewer perspective, creating dichromatic holograms that archive patterns of photons and electromagnetic fields. Evolving from geometric abstraction artists Frederick Hammersley and John McLaughlin, Muth's works draw viewers in and expand the sense of space and time.
