All the good energy that is often missing in the world

flows through Flavie Audi’s glass objects. Every beam of

light gets their oscillating colours and transparencies

dancing. The shapes are organic and erratic – and yet

embody an elementary tranquillity. Even opposites create

a delicate interplay in the “Fluid Rocks”. The ambivalence,

also reflected in the title of the series of works, like the

sculptures themselves, does not represent a state of

disorder for Audi. She describes it as constructive

tension; the creative process during which her objects

are created as a balancing act between coincidence and

precise staging, artificiality and naturalness, ancient

craft techniques and state­of­the­art technologies. Glass

is a medium that communicates between worlds for the

French­born Lebanese artist who works in London.

Her fascination for the material has come from the Liberal

Arts style of architecture. Since then, she has been

guided by this in an alchemical manner.
