Why we curated this:
Glassmaking is an ancient craft, and one with a particularly rich history in Finnish design. From traditional glassworks to contemporary artists, generations of makers have explored the extraordinary possibilities of a material that captures, reflects and transforms light.
Mari Isopahkala continues this tradition in a distinctly contemporary way.
What fascinates us about INTERMISSIO is how the glass seems to extend beyond its physical form. Light passes through the colours, casting long, shapes onto the wall. The shadow becomes part of the artwork itself.
Picture this in:
May we suggest something? Rather than choosing just one, consider displaying INTERMISSIO as a series or triptych, as seen in the gallery.
These works are especially fascinating in changing light, even direct sunlight. Imagine how the composition transforms throughout the day as the shadows move across the wall.
Art that makes you notice the passing of time.
