About the Work

In a meticulous process of hand-plotting tiles of rolled sheet glass, wrapped in copper foil and soldered with tin and led, Cavataro brings her idiosyncratic voluminous sculptures - piece by piece - into being. Her stained glass works exude an aura of synthetic alienation and artistic necessity, eschewing ornamental excess and expression in favour of hermetic precision.

Each sculpture is a singular, articulated shape, despite employing modular components.

Her sculptures are defined by the compression and expansion of matter, as if a gravitational force were embedded in the works and emanating from their centre. Each piece poses a unique approach to form, space and colour and its interaction with light. Cavataro uses a wide range of coloured glasses of varying opacity, which block or allow the gaze to penetrate the interior of the sculptures.

Kristi Cavataro will have her first solo exhibition at Galerie Gisela Capitain in Cologne in September 2025.
