Wax/Wane

Sigrid Bjørbæk, 2015

Wax/Wane (Ny/ne) consists of eight blown glass balls which, after cooling, have been subjected to sawing, engraving and sanding. The balls appear to have both an interior room and an exterior surface that changes appearance in relation to the viewer’s movement. By giving the forms a horizontal serial arrangement, a landscape emerges which sees – as our eyes see – both outwards and inwards. So also when studying the moon: we experience the passing of time and that we are moving ever closer to the end of our own existence.
