diffract// is a series of glass ‘paintings’ that echo the surface of water. Ambient light and the viewer’s movement constantly alter the work, making a ‘true’ reading impossible. A complex web of reflections confuses perception of depth. The glass acts as an impenetrable boundary, like our digital screens, that slips just out of reach. The kiln-formed glass shifts from one colour to another in a gradient and takes its shape from the texture of wax interacting with water. Aluminium frames containing the glass are reminiscent of a phone case.
