Matteo Zorzenoni
2013
The magical rubber bubbles that became a cult game of the ‘90s were the inspiration behind Matteo Zorzenoni’s Crystal Ball vases; these decorative elements made of delicate spheres of glass are a reinterpretation of an evocative childhood pastime.
In this collection of vase sculptures, the small bases in bleached ash wood support large spheres made of mouth-blown borosilicate glass: the resulting visual effect is an interesting counterbalance between fullness and emptiness, fragility and resistance.
