About Cassiopeia Skulptuer

Cassiopeia is in glesskulptuer makke fan recycled en yndustrieel restglês. It materiaal soe oars op de stoart bedarje, mar wurdt yn stee dêrfan smolten en omfoarme ta in nije foarm. Elk stik is mûle-blazen studioglês, mei de hân foarme. Rûge en organyske oerflakken wjerspegelje Skandinavyske estetyk en ljocht. Elke glêzen koepel is licht ferljochte, en de iisachtige oerflakken smelte gear ta in lânskipsaardige ynstallaasje. De skulptuer mjit 150 by 50 by 30 sintimeter. It doel is in poëtyske ynterpretaasje fan it kontrast tusken recycled en weardefol materiaal.
