Description
These works use the lost-wax kilncasting glass technique. First, he makes the original form of the babies in wax and then pours in refractory plaster to create a mold. Then he fills the molds with glass in the electric kiln and melts it at a high temperature of 900°C and lets it cool slowly over a number of days. Matsufuji says that his works get a soul during the time they spend in the kiln. He takes the glass that comes out of the kiln in his hands and carefully polishes it and then finally inserts the babies’ eyes. After this kind of craft approach, the glass sculpture is complete.
