Orange Cylinder Segmentation
Optical glass, cast, cut, laminated, carved and ground by hand, 2017
Gift of Carolyn K. and Richard F. Barry III
The object is part of the Segmentation Series, Jiyong Lee’s subtle yet structurally complex sculptures inspired by the process of gel electrophoresis—a method for the separation and analysis of macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA and proteins. The artist received the 2017 Gold Medal (Bayerischer Staatspreis) in Germany for this work.
