“Leo Tecosky deconstructs iconography through an impressive range of glassmaking techniques. From graffiti letters etched with Islamic patterns to hot-sculpted, Wildstyle-arrow installations, Tecosky juxtaposes the complexity of visual language with the fluidity and transparency of glass. The layers of his work reflect cultural exchange and the mathematics within archetypes.”
-C. White
