The aim of my project was to portray the fleeting nature of air through the use of glass. I began to explore the concept of air and how it relates to me. I explored this idea through the use of different medias such as painting, poetry, paper cutouts and spray paint. While doing these experiments, I noticed that each test had a common notion relating to the subtle elusiveness of air. I went on to creating sketches and models to support and refine my exploration of this concept. Through these models, I wanted to reflect how smoke and fog interact with the lungs. The feelings associated with this are that of constraint and burden. I began to experiment with blowing air into an orb and breathing the air back into my lungs in order to collapse the glass into an organic shape. Some of my pieces began to take the shape of lungs and reflected my lung capacity. I tried to create fog within my glass by burning organic material into the glass; however, it did not produce the outcome that I hoped for. Towards the end, I decided to cut my collapsed orbs and cold work them into multiple vessels as the process of vessel making is so central to the history of glassblowing. I hung these vessels at the approximate height of my lungs. I then went on to fill them with water and dropped ink into the water to create the effect of smoke. Because air is there, then it’s not.
