Tide and Temper
2025 - Glass and Steel
230 x 130 x 70 cm
This piece was inspired by water and the calming effects of rain and waterfalls have on the human psyche. For this project I chose to work with glass due to its ability to exist as a solid and fluid element which speaks of the possibilities for transformation.
The final work consists of over 300 pieces of glass, fired at over 1000°C, drilled and tied together by hand with steel rings. The process of firing or slumping strengthens the glass, softens the edges and crystallises the glass in its liquid state.
