About the art
Artist statement
Circular Mirage is a round sculpture using molten glass; it uses the same principles as a mirror, the difference and uniqueness of this piece is the usage of heat in the back part of the metal sheet that covers the glass. This gives a unique perspective and look to the glass piece.
Glass-fusion, a process that symbolizes the different facets of the existence of human life, where every individual facet is a variable and, altogether, represent an analytical description of a whole.
We are multidimensional beings; therefore, the perception of spaces generates for us conscience states that take us to the evolutionary transformation, broadening our mind and our way to perceive reality, seeking to reproduce a mystic atmosphere that represents LIGHT.
The molten glass technique using recycled material, as displayed in this exhibition, is Karin Weller’s favorite. This consists of melting scraps of glass, fusing them painstakingly, designing, selecting colors, cleaning, and maintaining the same coefficient of expansion to cautiously assemble every single piece. Glass is unpredictable and there are so many details to consider, but between the mixing technique and art, every regenerated piece emerges, almost out of nowhere… like the phoenix!
