Madisyn Zabel, Blend, 2020, cast and painted glass, metal, string

Blend combines traditional craft techniques and digital technology to explore spatial relationships between three-dimensional objects and their two-dimensional representations. This work began with handmade cast glass objects which were re-imagined into string drawings that project the implied shadow of the object into space. Through the exploration of perception and vantage point, the individual components shift, and their appearances change. By combining glass and string imagery, my work explores the possibilities of shifting perception within and between object and drawing.
