miniature glass vessels with wooden texture / volume VII of 11 unique pieces, VIII

approximate dimensions: 5–6 cm / 75-100 ml

While burning in a wooden mould, liquid hot glass captures tiniest details of a momentary structure, resulting into a unique shape and surface of each piece. This sculptural series is inspired by the form-making of nature and created by mastering the material and synergy of natural forces, elements of air and fire, noble materials of wood and glass.

Hand-crafted in Finland.

The wooden mould changes continuously during the glass blowing process. A sequence number is assigned to each piece, and due to the design and the technique, each object is one of a kind, and its shape, texture, dimensions, and weight differ, as if it would be grown from the earth.

Material: crystal clear glass.

Mould making, hot work, cold work: by the artist herself.

Hot work, mouth blowing into a wooden mould: by the glass master.
