The movement of a glass object’s structural failure when placed upside down in a kiln and overwhelmed by a hot temperature range is mapped within a still image, emulating something of a phantom’s passage through space.

The finished image is printed as a transparent, backlit photograph.  The condition of the glass object is displayed next to its illuminated image.  Correspondence between artist and a distant colleague places studio observance of material surrender within personal circumstances of vulnerability.  A composed score for the work is provided by QR code.
