Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Lene Bødker Introduces a New Set of Glass Sculptures

— October 13, 2022 — Art & Design
Lene Bødker introduces a new set of glass sculptures that are made with inspiration from the look of a human torso. It was recently featured in the collaborative Dezeen and The Mindcraft Project for 2022. It aims to connect humans with nature. To create the sculptures, Lene Bødker used the lost-wax casting technique by creating complex clay molds that reflect the look of a tree bark texture.

After this, it is cast in solid-colored glass. The patinas are refined through both machine and handcrafted techniques. This includes the use of acid treating, grinding, and polishing to create a unique finish. Lene Bødker states that "The visual references of the works are deliberately left open for interpretation, encouraging the audience to approach and connect with the two objects."
