Tiphaine Germaneau : Floating Gate

Floating Gate

Tiphaine Germaneau

Why do we install decorations on our walls ?

As a starting point for my creations, this question brings forth the theme of human behavior. The wall is a symbol for separation and boundaries, but also protection. Through my work, I wish to explore how to awaken and stimulate the mind in order to question our physical environment.

Working with glass fusing allows me to harness the fluid propertie of glass, using it as a liquid medium to capture the moment. I’m creating a frozen artefact/artifact? which represents movement and expansion.

Floating gate is a way to emphasize glass materiality and it also aims to be an installation that encourages imagination.
