Game ON!, 2026
cast concrete, cast-glass, hot-worked glass, flower tubes, dried reed, bulbous plant inflorescences in water
“Game ON! invites a gesture of observing and seeking: perhaps a game with no clear end, shaped by smooth, slippery surfaces, bulbs and ephemeral states of being.
A flower opens into many.
In a turn of events a drop of dew transforms to an icy droplet.
From the cracks and crevices something sprouts, or then slips through – a passage to another level.”
Text by Isa Lumme.
