Dressing Set
Blown glass
35 H x 45 W x 30 D cm
I am intrigued by the idea of re-creating a dressing set from the early nineteen hundreds, completely out of blown glass. I enjoy the aesthetics of these traditional objects and the beauty of how they can vary from simple to ornate. I am referencing the idea of vanity and performing daily rituals, following a routine to ‘become beautiful’ using these objects on a day-to-day basis.
