About Cassiopeia Skulptur

Cassiopeia är en glasskulptur tillverkad av återvunnet och industriellt avfallsglas. Materialet skulle annars ha hamnat på soptippen, men smälts och omformas istället till en ny form. Varje del är munblåst studioglas, formgivet för hand. Råa och organiska ytor speglar skandinavisk estetik och ljus. Varje glaskupol är svagt belyst, och de isliknande ytorna smälter samman till en landskapsliknande installation. Skulpturen mäter 150 gånger 50 gånger 30 centimeter. Avsikten är en poetisk tolkning av kontrasten mellan återvunnet och värdefullt material.
