Concept: Urban Nocturne - A Triptych in Glass
A triptych of glass vessels, each embodying a fleeting snapshot of the urban nocturnal landscape. This series captures the ephemeral spectacle of light against the slick, architectonic skin of glass-clad skyscrapers. The surface treatment translates the dynamic interplay of light: the visceral energy of reflected neon and street light is rendered through complex swirls, gestural twists, and sharp, linear vectors, creating an effect of luminous kinetic energy across the forms. These pieces function as receptacles of memory and studies in reflection, transforming the cold precision of the city into a vibrant, molten tableau.
The creation of these vessels is a labour-intensive, multi-stage process, integrating both kiln-forming and hot-shop techniques. The process commences with the meticulous collation of sheet glass, which is cut into strips and subjected to an initial fusing cycle in the kiln to create foundational tiles.
