Rene Culler is presenting work, past and present, inspired by ideas that
reference multiples. Central to this exhibition is work from her Byzantium
series, inspired by travels in Spain and Turkey and a fascination with history
and other cultures. These 2-dimensional pieces are comprised of numbers
stacked and layered with pre-fused glass that is fired over top. The rich surface
of color is organized yet random. The gentle topography suggests landscape
and mysterious light refractions from mosaic glass in the ruined churches
encountered while teaching in Istanbul. Culler also pays homage to Jasper
Johns’ use of numbers as a theme.
Culler has long been fascinated by numbers, obsessive counting, and how
numbers have been designated to represent the planets and abstract ideas.
Groupings of stacked and cast objects in Grail Variations and calligraphy and
the arrangement of numbers in her Magic Square series reflect this interest.
Rene Culler, a lifelong Clevelander and resident of Cleveland Heights since
1988, operated a glass studio in the Glenville neighborhood for 15 years which
she built herself. Over the years she taught classes, mentored and rented space
to young glass artists, and worked on many commissioned public art installations
nationally. She was also interim director of the glass program at Kent State
University from 1998-2000.
Culler recently relocated to accept the position of assistant professor at the
University of South Alabama, in Mobile. There she heads the new glass program
in a state of the art facility, while developing a comprehensive curriculum for
glass education beginning August, 2010.
