Not Whole, Knot Hole

Spring 2018

Glass Bottles, Twine

This piece plays with the concept of strength.  On its own, glass is already a fragile, breakable material.  Through the physical act of sandblasting, the glass is thinned and cut to become as fragile as it can be while still mainting one form.  Through cutting the glass, the areas of empty space become more important than the glass itself. The holes in the glass are then mimicked through the holes in the knotted twine holding the bottles up.
