In Baroque still life painting, the expressive quality of wilting flowers conveys the finite nature of everything earthly.
This series of rubber vases is a reinterpretation of this concept for the context of the modern household, acknowledging both beauty and transience of life.
A novel type of materiality was developed through combining the newest production techniques with handcraft. The process utilises 3D printing, rubber rotation casting and freehand modelling to produce a flowing, matte surface overlaid with a sparkling pattern of jewel-like dots.
