Design Criteria
Research elements are transparency, fragile, light and shadow, colour
transparency: creating transparency in the industry and system.
transparency: seeing through women, overlooked, not visible
fragile: work of women historically is too fragile to show. Certain materials are still refered to as being typically masculine or feminine. Feminine work is perceived as fragile compared to man.
colour: women’s art work are more often than men’s referred to as colourful
light and shadow. Women need to be put in the spotlight to step out of the shadow of men
Glass sculpture
With this test the limits of fragile thin glass pieces are put to the test by creating a sculpture.
Solid glass pieces
For this test thick, solid floating glass pieces are stagged into a shape
Glass string sculpture
How small can it be to have impact?
This extremely fragile glass string is bent over a candle into a profile.
Invisible ink
From invisible to visible can only be realised through an action.
To make change happen, something conscious needs to be done. In this case making an invisible message that can be revealed by adding heat. The text is written with lemon juice on thick paper.
Next
- Glass shadow sculpture
- another shattered glass sculpture with other glue
- fuse glass sculpture
- other colours glass
2. Glass string profile
- make another profile and see if I can make several into 1 object
- play with shadow and light angle
3. invisible ink
- test other materials
4. Glass solid piece
- make another version with other glue
- fuse a version
