Small Worlds
Au. blanc
Sometimes an object can be so disarmingly powerful that it can stop us in our tracks, we loose ourselves in its beauty, proof that the human spirit and the hand are capable of transcendental perfection. No photograph or description can really communicate this sense of physicality, it must be experienced in order to understand.
Exclusively available in Barcelona at Au.blanc the Small Worlds limited collection consists of four hand crafted assemblages of glass, they represent the harmony within their miniature natural worlds whether it be the bee’s nest, the owl perching in a winter’s tree, the depths of the oceans or the earth as it floats through space.
