Allowing the form to be free to become its own form.
The process to conduct the work requires technical knowledge: the heat of the oven, the chemical composition of the matter, the thermal reactions between different glass chemical compositions.
Fundamental ingredients to convey the complexity that arises by chance, through an apparently simple organic form.
Leonardo Cimolin is the furnace’s son.
From blowing to lampworking, from casting to thermoforming, from engraving to grinding.
For Leonardo expressive freedom is having the the technical knowledge of glass. A skill that he not only uses in his works, but which he generously places in the hands of those who wish to understand (and glean) its secrets.
