Light thieves Sculpture

Words from the mouth of a glass blower Glas is condensed light Glas is condensed light, duskily mysterious, dramatic.. Straight from the furnace (at 1130 degrees Celsius), molten glass at the end of a blowpipe is almost as fluid as honey. The soft, receptive surface only surrenders to the skilful hands of the glassblower. Passionate about her craft, Yvon Trossèl wants nothing more than to illuminate the specific characteristics of glass to the maximum effect. Blowing air inside also adds light. A colourful creation awakens, making the rest pale in comparison: cheerful and airy, with transparent splendour, swelling and shining in an incessant desire to seduce. Sunlight streams through the glass in its own celebration! In this new series of glassware, there is a common denominator: light feels entirely at home in each form, creating a double dimension. Glass has many human facets, but this time an especially beautiful one is illuminated: open, radiant and enthusiastic, innocent as a child! Building with these bright elements (ripe fruit, flowers, enchanted buds awakening, angels dissolving in bursts of light, precious hearts, elves and "˜clownbirds') disarming scenes are born. With a signature style evoking watercolours paintings, these creations look like they have just stepped out of a fairy tale. Yvon Trossèl makes everything herself. The glassware is all hand blown. She has had her own furnace for over 11 years.
