Night Transit

About Night Transit

This contemporary glass wall sculpture in deep blue is by John Paul Robinson. A single elegantly curved tube of hand blown glass makes a dynamic statement as light plays off its translucent surface. Subtle variations in the glass add refined detail. Robinson is known for his masterful and unique glass work that often explores our complex relationship to the natural world. This piece is intended to reflect a celestial phenomenon that occurs every night.

“Each night we see the moon and stars travel across a dark blue sky but of course it's us not the sky that is on the move. The optics of Night Transit mimic that experience.” John Paul Robinson
