Our two main mediums have been paper and glass, and we're always looking for new ways to combine these materials together, in the same way that we combine art and science. These pyrography pieces are made by pouring hot glass onto wet paper. Both of us pour hot glass together in a simultaneous collaboration. We scan the resulting pyroprints, print them on fresh paper, and fold them into curved crease sculpture.
This video illustrates the creation of our pyroprints by pouring hot glass onto wet paper. The glass falls like honey, adding details of its own while we control the broad strokes of the drawings.
