OBERDIECK Michèle, guest artist for the exhibition, Ce que peut le verre

Inspired by natural forms and organic structures, I explore balance and asymmetry through form, texture and the gradual transition of color. I reflect the soft organic lines created when one molten color bleeds into another with biomorphic form.


Color, purely sensory, enriches the linear with meaning.
As a medium of both clarity and ambiguity, the ability of glass to distort and alter our perspective is intriguing.
By cutting and removing layers of color, I examine the positive and negative terrain by playing with transparency and opacity, exposing the reflection of light and shadow of the contained interior space on the exterior form.
