Björn Friborg is working with a redefinition of the process of making and the material by pushing it beyond the historical norms of the glass manufacturing process. In his sculptures the material is harshly and unconventionally opened up and penetrated, challenging the historic production processes with established bodily movements, techniques and rules which have been defined glassmaking during the last 500 years.
