Matrix III

Here is a sculpture made from two kiln-glass processes. Firstly, coarse grains of gravel-like glass are fused within a mould to produce the grid shape, which is so prosaic within our urban environments. In a second firing, the glass grid is bent by subjecting the glass to heat and gravity. An aggregate of soft neutral tones with hints of pink and green has been used here, which is suggestive of architectural materials such as granite and concrete.
