'Soul-bending magic' in stained glass and surreal moonscapes at Tunnel City Coffee in Mass MoCA
This winter brings compelling color to Tunnel City Coffee at Mass MoCA with surreal tree and moonscapes by artist JD Logan and “soul-bending magic” in stained glass by artist Joseph Tracy.
Tracy’s inspired work blends deep mystical themes with tangible elements of the natural world to build powerful narratives in glass. “I try to do bit of soul-bending magic, where the viewer feels worlds colliding and marrying,” says Tracy. “The ancient and mythic and scientific compressed into compelling interaction, the inside and outside meeting, a child-like pleasure in kinetic translucent colors and textures.”
Logan’s playful portraits of natural figures entice from another world. “I find trees extremely interesting to observe at different times of the day and of the year,” says Logan. “They constantly change and no two are alike, much like people. In that way, to me, they have personalities of their own.”
