A Thousand Wishes series,'Wishie no. 60', Denis Brown, 2011
Calligraphy engraved in layered glass, 21" x 30" x 2" deepClick image to zoom, or click here for an enlargement which will better show fine detail.
I asked people to e-mail me a wish, and by now I have written well over a thousand wishes into the many works of this series. Etched in glass and with writing layered on top of writing, the wishes remain mostly secret/illegible, but they embody 3-D images of dandelion 'blow balls'. By writing down and sending a private wish to me, I hoped it might become more tangible to the wisher.
4 sheets of 2mm glass, each spaced a little apart in a box-frame. Each sheet is hand engraved with writing on both sides, as well as etched with an acidic paste. Mounted over a background with a unique print on hand painted and gilt paper featuring an image composed digitally from blurred scans of the sheets of engraved glass.
