How ancient cylinder seals inspire modern sculptural glass paintings
In short: In this episode of The Artist Project, American artist Dustin Yellin explores how ancient Near Eastern cylinder seals bridge the gap between the past, present, and future.
Dustin Yellin, born in 1975, is an American artist recognized for his unique sculptural paintings created with glass. As the founder of the Red Hook, Brooklyn-based non-profit Pioneer Works, Yellin uses his response to The Met's collection to reflect on the temporal connections found in ancient artifacts.
The video examines his reaction to Near Eastern cylinder seals, objects that Yellin suggests allow an individual to access multiple eras of time simultaneously.
