Encyclopaedia is an ongoing body of work exploring repositories of knowledge and experience, using transparency to express the idea of seeing all the layers of information at once. Finding new aesthetic possibilities through mishap, the work uses the flow of glass in a kiln to activate the two dimensional images within a three dimensional form. The piece is created using a combination of tightly controlled image-making and the chance movement of molten glass. The flow of glass creates a directional shift in the imagery revealing a graphic ‘swim’.
