The Design

About Cassiopeia Beeldhouwerk

Cassiopeia is 'n glasbeeldhouwerk gemaak van herwinne en industriële afvalglas. Die materiaal sou anders op 'n stortingsterrein beland het, maar word in plaas daarvan gesmelt en herwerk tot 'n nuwe vorm. Elke stuk is mondgeblaasde ateljeeglas, met die hand gevorm. Growwe en organiese oppervlaktes weerspieël Skandinawiese estetika en lig. Elke glaskoepel is liggies verlig, en die ysagtige oppervlaktes smelt saam in 'n landskapagtige installasie. Die beeldhouwerk meet 150 by 50 by 30 sentimeter. Die doel is 'n poëtiese interpretasie van die kontras tussen herwinne en waardevolle materiaal.
