Story:
This glass vase was born as an exploration during Elina’s 2021 AA School Diploma project, where she investigated heart functions through glass plumbing. An abstract attempt to freeze/instill a mechanical function into a still object. It was generally a part of a longer exploration on what can come out of mimicking the complexity of the human body.
We later developed this design further, with local artisans in Bulgaria, where Kiril’s family is from and where there used to be a strong industry in the field of glass making, both industrial and artisanal glass. During our stay we explored various glassblowing and glassforming techniques.
In addition to free-blowing (entirely done by mouth and hands, without the use of any molds) and mouth-blowing (done by mouth and hands, but with the use of a crafted mold), we also tried other methods like casting and slumping, where sheets of glass are laid over a mold and shaped by the force of gravity.
One of the most fascinating qualities of glass for us is its ability to metamorphose. The changing appearance of our mouth-blown vases can vary depending on their thickness, reflections from other objects in an interior and external light.
