Referencing the visual language of way-finding apparatuses, Astrolabe I is part of a series of pâte-de-vere relief sculptures that synthesize different glass fusing and experimental hot assemblage techniques. Created with lost wax casting, the reliefs accompany a central, microwave-fused ornament that evoke a delicate, fragmented landscape. The ornament and the pâte-de-vere relief frames are connected with chains that is joined through holes in the frame or stitched through silicone. These relief sculptures expand a formal language interested in negative space, chainlinks and blurring the distinction between sculpture, object and ornament.
This body of work was produced during an artist residency at s12 (NO).
