Week 2

I have also been working with glass. In the tale the whole illusion is shatter by the statement of the child. The Emperor is naked.

I have been experimenting with adding colour. 

This effect is multi layered, the smashed lie, the lie running through society it also makes me think of  creases in fabric. The glass is a good medium for this brief because it is clear and unseen like the lie and the cloth.

This week I intend to continue working with glass and I will be experimenting with breaking laminated glass which will crack but not break all the way through. The artists I have been looking at so far are Jos A Smith, Anthony Gormley and George Papadopolulos.

This is great book for techniques of working with glass lamination.
