About Cassiopeia Skulptur

Cassiopeia er en glasskulptur fremstillet af genbrugt og industrielt affaldsglas. Materialet ville ellers være endt på lossepladsen, men i stedet er det smeltet om og formgivet på ny. Hvert enkelt stykke er mundblæst studieglas, formet i hånden. De rå og organiske overflader afspejler skandinavisk æstetik og lys. Hver enkelt glaskuppel er svagt oplyst, og de isagtige overflader smelter sammen til en installation, der minder om et landskab. Skulpturen måler 150 gange 50 gange 30 centimeter. Hensigten er en poetisk fortolkning af kontrasten mellem genbrugt og værdifuldt materiale.
