Prehistoric Glass Figurines
The
contemporary and prehistoric glass female figurines were an outcome of an
assignment to reproduce a prehistoric ‘art’ piece, known as “the nun” or
“flattened figure” with the original stone tools. The figure later manifested
in another wooden carving I created, alongside a more contemporary female
figure. I made an imprint of the carvings onto a sand mixture, then poured hot
clear glass into the imprint. The piece allows the viewer to contemplate ideas
of beauty taken out of context and juxtaposed, implications of different material
properties, the artist’ hand, object production, as well as the ties between
the past and present.
