Bone Marrow
Concept
Bone Marrow is suspended on stainless steel rods symbolizing the strenuous pulling process, adding weight and substance to the piece. This work, in particular, challenges preconceived notions about the characteristics of glass and instead shows dynamic malleability. A testament to the materiality of glass, I capture the intense interplay between molten glass and the physical body. As an artist, my body becomes a pivotal tool in the transformative journey of the glass in performing anatomy. This piece prompts a reflection on the collaborative possibilities between the material and my anatomy. Questions arise about the limits of glass manipulation: How far can my body pull it before breakage or rigidity sets in? The tension in this exploration evolves into an integral part of the visual narrative. By mirroring the modifying nature of the body, the glass transforms into a vessel for expressive possibilities, embodying the fluidity and adaptability inherent in both the material and the human form.
