sculptural glass vase, volume II
approximate dimensions: Ø 14 x 16 cm height
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: glass. Mould making, hot work, cold work: by the artist herself. Hot work, mouth blowing into a wooden mould: by Finnish glass masters in Nuutajärvi, the oldest glass blowing village in the Finnish forest.
