Working on Glass Part II

I left the bioplastic to cure, and over time, there are some changes to it. Water evaporates, so the texture is not so pronounced. The bioplastic also yellows very slightly - the agar powder I have used for this one is a little yellow in colour than other powders I have used, but it is more durable than others. The bioplastic seems to adhere well to the glass, which is what I hoped for.

The work on glass looks different in natural and direct light. Under incandescent light at night the shadows reflect strongly on the wall behind the sheet of glass, and the texture in the shadow is more pronounced than the work on the glass. In natural light in the house, the work becomes more subtle, and the shadow is not so prominent.

I like the work's subtlety and feel it relates well to the idea of bodies of water. There are 4 sheets of glass that could sit together, leaning against the wall. I think the work would embody the 4 main hydrologic cycles

…..

Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas). Water vapour droplets join together to make clouds!

Condensation: This is when water vapour in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water.

Precipitation: This is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.

Collection: This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water.
