Selected Finalist at the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2022.

Taking multiple influences as its starting point, including graffiti, pop music, and the way in which painters layer a canvas, the three glass works in this series have been blown, cast, and fired multiple times to create three large-scale globular works. Each firing risks the work’s destruction, especially at this scale, and Nielsen’s contemporary approach pushes the craft of glass making into a new direction that remains relevant to today.
