Jonathan Latino's work explores space and extension through his beautifully formed crystal structures. Latino his BA in Studio Art from Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvanian in 2006 and his Masters in Fine Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012. This piece 'Emerge' clearly questions spacial awareness and scale. The artist has created something which looks organically beautiful whilst also retaining a structured body. The crystals which would form naturallly in caves has been intentionally placed in that exhibition space, juxtaposing the organic chance of the crystals with man-made intentions.  I am interested in creating similar shapes in my own work with alternate materials and fabrics.
