Unbottled 
Fall 2017
14'x4"x12'
Brown glass bottles, twine, rope

The bottles explore the fragility of glass and its destruction over time.  The bottles faced varying levels of manipulation from light surface treatments to deeply engrained cuts.  By having them hung, the bottles lose their sense of strength and density, becoming light and fragile, swaying through the air.  Additonly, the hanging allows the viewer to witness the objects from all angles and heights.  This keeps the viewer engaged, allowing them to walk up and down the curtain of bottles, looking high and low to witness the sandblasted patterns and cuts.
