:: VIDEO ARTIFACTS ::

 

This series of videos gives a close-up view of how the Sound Wave series was made. A hot blown glass bowl is placed on graphite slab, and filled with molten glass. Another graphite slab with a round hole cout out of the middle is placed across the top of the bowl. A transparent quartz cylinder is placed over the hole making a vertical tunnel to the hole. It is long enough so that a speaker can be placed on the top of the cylinder, directing sound into it, and not get burned from the heat. The speaker plays the sound of the miked performer playing live. Vibrations from the sound makes the molten glass move and vibrate. As the glass cools these are captured as waves and striation in the glass.
