Blown & Sculpted Glass

Photography by: Maurice La Rooy

The main inspiration for this series has been the patterns that can be found in any mundane stone, the lines and textures so elaborate. I recreate these intricate patterns and textures within the glass and see how they co-exist with the material. Ever reflecting and distorting, the solid glass warps and magnifies the patterns creating these new magnificent optical effects.

The series is a material study in how nature’s patterns reflect within glass, how it’s translucency affects the way we perceive it. The work ranges from flowing lines to rocky textures.
