Hotshop Abstraction

Hotshop Abstraction (2nd vesion)
Cardboard, fog, slide projector, speaker, microphone, pre-recorded sound of a glass shop
Live performance/ Installation
2008

Hotshop Abstraction extracts and interprets the intense experience of a glassblowing studio. 
A large industrial space is filled with fog, and pre-recorded sound of a growling mechanical noise of a glass shop.  A "glory hole"(stand-alone furnace for reheating hot glass) replicated out of cardboard is installed at one end of the space. A slide projector installed behind the glory hole
casts a strong beam of light to the other end of the wall. The mass of light draws a perfect conical shape because of the fog particle in the atmosphere. 
The piece was exhibited in at Gallery Catacomb, Central Falls, RI  in May 2008.
