About Cassiopeia Skulptur

Cassiopeia ass eng Glasskulptur, déi aus recycléiertem an industriellem Offallglas hiergestallt gouf. Dëst Material géif soss op enger Dekonie landen, ass awer amplaz agescholzen a nei geformt ginn. All Stéck ass mondgeblosen Studioglas, dat vun Hand geformt gouf. Rau an organesch Uewerflächen reflektéieren skandinavesch Ästhetik a Liicht. All Glaskuppel ass liicht beliicht, an d'äisähnlech Uewerflächen zerschmëlzen zu enger landschaftähnlecher Installatioun. D'Skulptur mesure 150 mol 50 mol 30 Zentimeter. D'Absicht ass eng poetesch Interpretatioun vum Kontrast tëscht recycléiertem a wäertvollem Material.
