  A project that seeks to use a low-tech approach in mapping various energy changes of heat and stress within unannealed byproducts of the blown glass process.  3 residue catches composed of varying combustible materials were placed below my bench during a 6-hour work period on 3 separate occasions (each work period in repetitive pursuit of a cup of specific design). 
​  Each drop cloth recorded and measured the nature of exothermic energies between it and the hot glass residue through the density of coloration and depth of their burning.
