Sculpting with light and shadow

Sydney Cash is a sculptor, painter and jeweler. His work is in collections worldwide, including MoMA in NYC, and Le Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts. He is based in Marlboro, New York.


With his light sculptures, Sydney manipulates light as if it were a solid, using mirrored panels to create radiant designs of illumination and shadow. These panels can transform an ordinary beam of light and a blank wall into a composite of design. This results in design elements that can be both a broadly textural as in the installation below at the Falcon Bar, or at once both substantially sculptural and ethereal  feeling. As they rely on projections on the planes of existing walls they inherently integrate naturally into existing color motifs, as well as potentially creating drama and a sense of depth with minimal space.
