Sasha Fishman (with Earth Aengel)
Medium Spicy Moat Regeneration
Stained glass, steel, aluminum, copper, pewter, bronze, patina, shells, moonstones, crystals, ceramic, lights, body wax, mica, electroplated copper, blown and flameworked glass, water, kelp, fish bait, cloves, star anise, quinoa, dill, poison seeds, paper pulp, spirulina, sand, turmeric, borax, salts
This collaborative installation responds to the impact that the Sassoons had on globalization and the supply chain. With a focus on recreating trade routes by exchanging our studio residues and finding ways to melt and mold them together to redistribute, regenerate, and cultivate, we attempt to both form and extract from the illogical system, questioning the hierarchies of perceived value systems (spiritual, cultural, or physical value) within the industrialized complex.
