Objectives

In the interest of using a conventional material to produce unconventional effects, we propose a rigorous material study of glass and resin. Offering a contemporary reinterpretation of a classic building material, we intend to design a unique, provocative aesthetic through the effects of cast glass and resin components. This common material affords us the opportunity to manipulate light and vision.  Through experimentation with the physical composition and form of the material itself, we intend to create specific effects through light refraction, reflection and iridescence. Our study would include a research phase, followed by an experimentation phase, and culminating in the production of a full scale built fragment as well as a printed publication. The final pieces would fit together to produce a large glittering structure or series of installations.
