Gesture Reflection Projection
The Creature series began as an exploration of movement. Abajian and Kung wanted to use glass as a recording medium. The sleek forms and fluid shapes produced from this process interact with each another in herd-like groupings.
 
They are thought bubbles, gestures in motion, ideas in conflict, and dialogues in progress. The mirrored series pull in light and the environment around them. These distortions represent perception.
 
The dark series are the long shadows creeping out as light retreats into the horizon. They are unfinished thoughts, specters, and ideas waiting to be realized.

This demonstration was given as part of the annual Glass Artist Society Conference.
