SPELEOGENESIS
Inspiration for this project came from visiting caves, the beauty of these hidden spaces and the wealth of symbolism they hold. It combines kiln-cast glass with hot casting techniques, pushing the glass to breaking point in the process. Incorporating hot glass introduces an element of uncertainty, echoing the geological forces of heat and pressure. The work combines grounded, substantial forms with ethereal inner qualities, creating a world of subtlety and movement within the glass.
