Shadow Rock
Lara Saget
- Joshua Tree ground, glass
- 2021
- 6" x 5" x 3"
"Joshua Tree is changing. It will no longer be the landscape it once was. Climate change is steadily impacting the Mojave Desert, the terrain is shifting.
This work is a moment in time, a fleeting piece of land that is not stable. The glass form is a shadow rock.
These works are made using the lost wax casting technique. A mold is made of the object. Wax is poured into the mold and then steamed out. Finally, glass is placed into the mold to create the glass positive. These works also include dichroic glass, which is not commonly used in the casting process. This glass creates the luminous effect."
