Wallpaper
Sifted, stacked and sintered glass powder
100 H x 170 W x 5 D cm
Wallpaper investigates the balance between reality and fiction through decorative pattern. The repeat of hybrid retro designs is replicated in sifted glass powder. A graphic illusion of depth is replaced with the relief of sintered layers. The three-dimensional glass sculpture emerges from the surface of the wall.
