Abstract

This article aims to focus on the versatile material of glass and to explore the unique potential of glassblowing techniques for creating organic and transient glass forms for site-specific installations. The objective is to transform something mundane into something new and unexpected and deepen our appreciation for the natural world. Through defamiliarizing glass, this article explores its qualities and properties, examining the way light interacts with it, how it reflects and refracts, and the innumerable ways it can be moulded and shaped. Site-specific installations will invite the viewer to engage with the art in a specific context, creating a deeper connection between the artwork and its environment. The scope of this article is to push the boundaries of the traditional use of glass, and to explore new ways of creating and experiencing art through defamiliarization. Ultimately, this research aims to inspire a greater appreciation for the world around us and encourage viewers to see the beauty in the ordinary. The construction stages and resulting site-specific installations were recorded by photography, and the figure section provides visual representations of these documented stages. This research employs a qualitative approach, including a review of relevant literature, and will primarily utilize an experimental, practice-based methodology.
