Amy Thai's 'Undercurrent' series explores contrasting forces – permanence and fluidity, weight and lightness, strength and fragility. This glass sculpture translates her marble works (Undercurrent I-III) into transparent crystal. Like its marble counterparts, the work comprises multiple elements that can rotate in relation to one another, but where the stone sculptures play with weight made fluid, this glass piece inverts the dynamic – apparent fragility reveals surprising strength. The crystal-clear material captures light and shadow differently from every angle, its transparency allowing the viewer to see through and into the form simultaneously. The sculpture maintains the organic, flowing quality of the marble works while demonstrating glass's unique capacity to hold light within its mass.
