Interpretive Notes

Web Text

To make the delicate, knotted structure of Reservoir, Szösz first spun glass fiber into rope using a 19th-century ropemaking machine, wove it into its present form, and fired it over a refractory core. The result is something delicate and light, which scratches the itch of any glass enthusiast eager to see the material stretched to its technical and aesthetic limits. -Susie J.
