About the Artwork

In making a crystal from the vision inducing material of glass I hope to create a carrier of cosmic feelings. Crystal magic for divination and healing is rooted in pre-Christian folk-beliefs or Pagan practices. Crystal gazing or crystallomancy is a method to achieve visionary experiences and supernatural insight. For Jung the crystal is a symbol of the union of matter and spirit. The German Expressionists Paul Scheerbart and Bruno Taut championed glass or crystalline structures as a utopian ideal. When using the spiritualised material of glass they proposed to create an earthly paradise which would open up the New Age.
