Ruins of Time

Blown Glass I Series of Five
Medium : Furnace Glass blown on an open cast plaster mould

The subjective perception of reality is a very open ended interpretation of how one defines space. Mist likely to change with the experience one feels. As it is imagined by me, with time the ability of a space or an object / subject to remain succumbs its past into present and to the future.


In this series of work, I attempted at blowing glass on an open cast mould researched and developed in areas of timelessness. To understand the concept of memory giving a direction towards the visual representation of perception.


With each attempt at blowing glass, the mould broke into fragments succumbing to heat. By the end of five pieces, the mould was left with one stark indent indicating the relevance and importance of past yet holding a stand in what we consider as our lived present and perceived future.



PROCESS:


As the physical strength and appearances of the mould changed, so does the story of the object produced from it. The flow of production and creation asserting themselves as what it was to what it becomes, things, the story of a changed relationship to the outside impact of time and pressure.

As they evolve and revolve through the spaces we conceived once, we tend to look through objects to see what they disclose about us or most of all a glimpse of its new acquired nature.


Based of ideas of encounter, a materials ambiguity is through the thought of its actions, movements towards the infinite. Every element, space, areas seems to be similar, explainable, justified and most of it that is what we choose to believe.

But the thinking we hold guides us to a different degree of shift on perceptions of simply being.
