Ulysses Cylinders

About the publication

Titled Ulysses Cylinders, the exhibition narrates the 18 episodes of James Joyce’s book through the use of images—created by glass threads—fused with 24-karat gold leaf into colorful glass cylinders. Shades of gold, green, and red vibrantly glow as natural light from the leaded windows reflect off the gold leaf.

The accompanying fold-out brochure, which has both an exhibition checklist and a text-and-art-checklist includes an introduction from Curator Mary-Kay Lombino and an essay by Associate Professor of English Heesok Chang.
