Glass Blowing,

taken to a new level,


 looking at these I can not but wonder at how they were made,

 and how they do not collapse under their own weight, 

they are the work of Eunsuh Choi, “My work specifically focuses on communicating the graceful flow of our emotional tendencies through the plastic medium of flameworked glass,” she shares with Habitat, “I like to work sculpturally, utilizing form and its surrounding atmosphere to portray narratives based on the human encounter with success and failure in the pursuit of personal ambition.”

Choi sculpts primarily through a process called flameworking where thin borosilicate glass rods are heated with a torch and carefully bent to form the lattice-like structures that are stronger than they first appear, You can see more of Choi’s work at Gallery Sklo and Habitat Fine Art, I am still trying to work out how the rods are put into place without disturbing the ones adjacent.
