Soda water is used to trap air
in a super heated glass matrix,
which is vertically stretched
and folded back onto itself
between pegs numerous times.
As the glass cools, the folding
motion along the grain of the
loop turns the entrapped air
into microfi laments that give
the piece a pearlescent optical
quality. A low-voltage xenon or
LED light source is introduced at
one end of the loop casting light
through the microfi laments and
registering a gentle gradient.
