Membrane Vase

Inspired by an exploration of identity as told through the body, each piece is made by hand blowing hot liquid glass into moulds made of scrunched up newspaper.

Having chosen glass as a medium to express bodily fragility in hard fragile materials, Rosie believes that using the lungs and the air inside them to create these forms adds a certain delicacy and intimacy to each piece. She collected discarded Metro newspapers to make the moulds, allowing the undulating surfaces and textures to make each mould slightly different.

No two pieces alike. Only 20 made.
