Hadi Rahnaward: 'Fragile Balance' (2023) rug sculpture created with matches. And dangerous, if those are real matches. The temptation for me would be enormous. I don't know if I could resist.
Anyone got a light?
ReplyDeleteCreate a vessel, i.e. mold, to hold stick matches upright. Say, 10x10. Place matches in mold. Glue matches in upright position. Release from mold.

Invite CW to render it performance art.
