Kadonaga Kazuo is a conceptual artist who creates sculptures and installations using cedar logs, silk and silkworms, handmade Japanese paper, and glass. His glass works exploit the behaviour of this material as it is heated and cooled, transitioning from solid to liquid and back again. This work belongs to a series of sculptures created during a residency at the Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle. Kadonaga stacked blobs of semi-molten glass into conical towers that invite the viewer to consider how something that appears malleable and elastic can be hard and unyielding.
