Curious Opulence, Architecture Gallery, Monash University




CURIOUS OPULENCE
Hand Blown, Cut and Polished
Dichroic, Silvered and Mirrored Glass.

Special Thanks to Nadia Mercuri
Head of Hot Shop at Monash Uni Glass

Curious Opulence was my graduate installation from Honours in Fine Arts at Monash University.

The work was comprised of
sculptural components exploring optically impossible and complex spaces that the modern notion of the atom quantifies. These hand blown, mirrored and dichroic glass objects were unique prism-like spherical fragments of a Baroque nature. Each fragment held a visual connection to the other alluding that they had all once belonged to a greater whole. The final installation Curious Opulence created a situation for the human eye to investigate the dissolvability of form and obscurity of perception.

DETAIL IMAGES
Hand Blown, Cut and Polished Dichroic, Silvered and Mirrored Glass.

All components change colour depending on the position of the viewer in relation to the object. For example, in the image below, the Gold/Orange glass, shifts to a Blue, while the Blue changes to a Pink and the Violet to a Green. Depending on the surface the objects sit on, they reflect and refract light, changing colour through out the day. At night time they glow.
