通过使用不同的绘图软件,例如autoCAD, rhino, 或IGEMS等,艺术家对一片片平板玻璃进行水刀切割,在每一片玻璃上切割出有着细微差别的人形轮廓。随后,她将这些玻璃规整之后放入窑炉,在摄氏880度的温度下进行融化,直到切割的轮廓内形成气泡。通过迅速的冷却后退火,这些气泡被稳定地封存在了玻璃内部,并在玻璃的内部空间产生了多重的三维视觉效果。这件作品对无形的存在,比如空气,进行可视性转化的尝试,并探索将空气作为思考、记忆,以及非物质的隐喻。
Using various CAD/CAM platforms such as autoCAD, rhino, and IGEMS, michell water cut glass and formed it in a kiln. pieces were then heat to 800 degrees centigrade until bubbles formed in the cut contours. by crash cooling and annealing, the air pockets are effectively frozen in-situ, creating three dimensional forms made of air, seemingly suspended in space. the series makes visible the intangible, and explore air as a metaphor for thought, memory, and the immaterial.
