I’m interested in the intersection of the visual/verbal languages of art and science, especially as they relate to physical transformation. Historically glass is a material that catalyzed numerous significant medical and scientific breakthroughs, changing perceptions of the body. Glass is non-crystalline, a unique quality in the material sciences: it insulates and protects,and though it is fragile it can endure millenniums. a to z flashcards, are the templates to recreate 26 glass objects which will be displayed in a cabinet of curiosity at a venue to be determined.
I had a residency at the Tacoma Museum of Glass for a week to recreate 26 glass objects that changed world history. Researching the project at the Corning Museum of Glass Rakow Library, I was able to whittle down and catalogue from a to z glass objects that changed world history.
Because of my interest in visual/verbal languages of art and science, the actual making of the objects and the hand gestures, motions to make the work created another layer in the project. I documented each object as it was being made and the related gestures to make that object. I saw it as a form of sign language that will be added in the form of sign language flashcards of the physical objects. a to z gestures, is a documentation of labor to make.
