Autonoma – Build Up – Structure

The ‘Autonoma’ project was born in 2017 as an exchange program with Pilchuck Glass School. For its third edition, six artists from around the world gathered to create a site-specific installation for the Museo del Vetro garden. Using a digital bubble algorithm they focused on the local Muranese architecture in the form of an arch. Created with steel and incorporating recycled found glass objects the work utilizes craft skills from around the island of Murano. The contained glass pieces are embedded in this form and are suggestive of the salt decay that perpetually erodes the historically unique architecture of the island. The hope is to create a work that communicates the tension between the constantly degrading and rebuilding of this historic place.
