Emma Scully Gallery is proud to present, 'Paraciphers,' the first exhibition from acclaimed lighting designer Bec Brittain after a two year hiatus.
Taking cues from the movement of inflated parachutes–specifically, those used by NASA during wind tunnel testing– Brittain has designed a series of fluid forms that mimic the rhythm of flowers in the wind. Brought to life through function-forward design, each piece offers moments of fleeting refraction, reflection and shadow layered in meaning with messages of radical equality and community encoded into the fabric.

About
Emma Scully Gallery
Emma Scully Gallery champions cutting edge contemporary collectible design. Located in a 19th Century townhouse on the Upper East Side, we present challenging work in a rich historic context. We represent and support the work of groundbreaking living artists, designers, and craftspeople. Critical to the gallery’s mission is the exhibition program where new work is commissioned around conceptual themes. This intellectual backbone of our collection, resulting from years of exhibition, is the question of how to deal with the challenges of creating for the today’s material society: the landscape of superabundance, the ecological cost of overproduction and the shift from the physical to the digital world. In promoting equity the gallery recognizes the need to facilitate production in order to support the broadest range of talent in the design community. The gallery therefore acts as manufacturer for a portion of the collection work.
