Colour Conversations
Colour Conversations V to XIII
2022 . Colour Conversations is a collection of unique mouth blown glass vases about how colours speak with each other. It reflects on the interaction of colour through its transparent quality and intensity of tones and the beauty of the uncontrolled process of mouth blown glass. The vases were made in collaboration with masters glassblowers with more than 30 years of experience, at Marinha Grande, a city in Portugal known for glass production since the 18th century.
Colour Conversations was an open process, using distinct colour hues in different glass materialities on each piece. Intentions were set by placing glass pigments in a certain way inducing the visual perception, based on Joseph Albers’s studies, a German artist & academic. Charming small imperfections are part of the artisanal process. The result is a unique series of handcrafted fluid shapes, sculpted by hand without any mould, signed and numbered, which showcase the transparency and layering of colour interactions on mouth blown glass.
