Half Glass rises improbably on a windswept coastal hillside, a slender vertical plane which vanishes in profile and re-forms as shadow and refraction on the land. In material, form and idea, the sculpture reconsiders the proverb of the glass half empty and half full. Its technically “impossible” structure is a precise equilibrium of glass and air, achieved against the odds after six prior casts exploded and failed. The form holds optimism and realism in productive tension without yielding to permanence or certainty. Over time, its chemistry slowly transforms, registering duration as matter shifts from solid back to liquid states. As light, weather, and viewpoints change, Half Glass becomes translucent and seems to dissolve into the environment, then re-appears to capture layered images of coastlines, sky and people, both framed in the void and reflected in the margins.
