The look of the sky is ephemeral. An always fluent interference of light, air, humidity, never standing still. Molten glass is in a similar movement. When you apply coloured powder, the colour flows on it like clouds. Eventually the movement stops, and the fluid glass gets solid, capturing a frozen moment. But in our imagination the movement is still there.
The colours and shapes of these glass objects are related to a series of photographs, exemplifying the countless light-colour combinations in the sky. Each glass design is matching with one specific light situation. The organic yet abstract body becomes image carrier, its glassy surface a 3-dimensional screen, both amplifying and virtualizing the perception.
