The Artist

Caitlin Barnes.

Caitlin works from a small studio in New Orleans, cutting each tessera by hand. Her pieces move slowly — sometimes over the course of a season — and are shaped as much by the light in the room as by the glass on the table.

FrOM THE STUDIO

“Glass remembers everything — the hand that cut it,

the room it lived in, the light it caught on its way here.

My work is a way of listening to what it already knows.”

— CAITLIN
