About the work

“Margarita Gluzberg’s works–featuring spheres rendered in pastel that appear to sit lightly upon a rich effervescent ground–belie the long and involved labour and physicality of their making and ethereal appearance as they evoke a music of the spheres if not indeed their own cosmology.”

–John Slyce 2024
