Chromatic Drift (2023) is a site-responsive installation of over one hundred vertical glass panels in tints of amber, rose, aqua, and violet. Each panel hangs from stainless steel cables at staggered heights, catching and refracting daylight. As the sun shifts, the glass casts moving bands of color across the floor and walls. Viewed in motion, the work creates a soft optical shimmer, turning solid glass into fleeting color. Korrin’s craftsmanship balances exacting control with a sense of impermanence, using light to make the gallery itself part of the piece.
