Wired Vessels by Rachel Hardie

Vessel / Design NewTalentsByKlimt02 Architecture

My work focuses on the architectural quirks of Glasgow however it is the city’s chimneys where I collect most my inspiration from. Chimneys come in shapes and sizes and sit above the city with no real purpose anymore. However, they were and still are in some cases key to holding a building together and if removed incorrectly the building may collapse. My studio work takes on the variety of shapes and sizes which stem from chimneys with emphasis on the importance of small but essential parts of a piece which people forgot or tend not to consider. I also play and combine different metals together through both wire and sheet building structures which if not carefully treated will collapse.
