Based in Edinburg, Morgan is known for hispenchant for marrying unusual materials and experimental use of ancient processes. Presentin permanent collections such as London’s V&A Museum and Coburg’s European Museum of Modern Glass in Germany, he often explores the intrinsic personality of materials and the conflicting relationship between them.A marriage of contrasts, the duality of this pedestal runs deeper than mere materials. Referencing the brutality of architecture and Venetian murrine glass making, a dense mass of concrete sits atop of a block of individual glass filaments, each individually pulled from the furnace by hand. Juxtaposing the ambiguity of glass with the certainty of concrete creates silicate siblings with unique identities. The sequential structure binds these counterintuitive materials together, providing a solid reminder that both glass and concrete are made from the same elements.
