Laura de Santillana

"Large Bubble Spiral", 2010
Hand-blown, shaped and mirrored glass
H18 x W10 x D10 in
H45.7 x W25.4 x D25.4 cm
LS25NY6 (LS2010_SUN16)

Created at the Tacoma Museum of Glass during an intensive residency, the mirrored inner-surface is a rare entry among her oeuvre that hybridized ideas developed alongside her brother Alessandro Diaz de Santillana as the pair explored ideas of layering and refraction. The torrent of bubbles frozen within the exterior layer grows in volume as the mirrored reflection shifts in the light, creating inanimate movement.
