A creative duo working together, Martine and Jacki Perrin have been exploring the unsuspected breadth of glass for over forty years. As a material of light, in which colours, transparency, and opacity blend, contrast or reveal themselves, glass is transformed into mineral sculptures.
This first monograph reveals the many facets of their work, which explores all the possibilities offered by the material. From fusing glass and modelling clay to drawing and calligraphy, Perrin & Perrin work like alchemists. Punctuated by Chinese ink drawings, an inspiration at the heart of their artistic approach, this book immerses us into the artists' creative process. It is accompanied with several essays by curators, architect and designer who recontextualise their approach in the history of the arts.
