This series explores the traces of glass by creating folds of gathers. I was interested in this particular moment of the recollection of glass, emulating the growth of the piece in the same way an organism grows. Also, during the manufacturing of the series many peculiarities (cavities, folds, air traps, ripples, bents) happen, and the sum of them results in the piece. I like to leave them, and even enhance them, to show the action of time and chance in a piece. Finally, the dislocation on the visual vertical axis is also intended and guided, and it plays a reference to the organic synthesis of glass. Blown in Xa Quixe studio in Oaxaca, to my designs and desitions during the making.
