The stand is from a hundred-year-old tree, hatchet carved wooden beam that was recovered from a demolished house. The fractured glass sections were created instantly by the impact of a single gunshot. Though varied in material and purpose, the contrast of the wooden stand and the fractured glass seems to match visually. It’s like how the various plain ingredients of a hamburger taste more delicious when eaten together all at once. In this piece, I look to go beyond each material’s original meaning and purpose to create something more aesthetically pleasing.
