In his series SLUMP, British artist Paul Cocksedge shapes glass around metal, rock and wooden bases to form ethereal table tops. The process behind such effortless design was incredibly complex, involving reworking and de-stressing the glass by hand at extreme temperatures. The subsequent flowing effect of the glass, as if a river has been trapped in a state somewhere between liquid and solid, was crucial to the design. The artist explains, “They’re meant to look as though they’ve moved, but have now stopped… and it’s that stillness that I’m trying to convey.”
