The Frozen collection was inspired by the transformation of water into ice. This moment is similar to the work in a glassmaker shop. Creating a solid object from a liquid material is an essential characteristic of glass. Each design attempts this small miracle –turning the liquid glass to solid form. Velčovský allows the glass to spill over a metal form and seeks an advantage in its natural properties. Each piece traces a unique record of the process, becoming an original.
Maxim found inspiration among the shards of ice created by nature and applied that element of natural randomness to his craft in the context of glassmaking. The result is a ‘frozen’ sculpture, that combines the richness of glass textures, wrinkled details, bubbles and varied thicknesses.
