"Among the works in  Alison Berger: Glass and Light . . . is a pendant lamp of woven glass. During the day it hovers in space, almost disappearing like a cobweb that goes unnoticed in the house until the light strikes it a certain way, Ms. Berger writes. At night, the glass recedes even further, and shadows come boldly forward as vivid as a drawing on the wall. In her work, she evokes astrolabes, apothecary jars and other relics from the dawn of science."
