Calgary artist Robert Geyer will discuss his artistic practice and TRUCK exhibition, Crystal Wonderland 2.

Crystal Wonderland 2 is an installation of sculpture and drawing created with altered pieces of commercial glass. Through his use of commercial glass, Geyer references its design for architectural purposes while activating its history of being a material substitute for mind and vision through its links with phenomenology and alchemy.
