FUSE Glass Artist Residency: 
Marcel Hoogstad Hay

The art of Marcel Hoogstad Hay delves into human perceptions of space, time, and matter, particularly when viewed at different scales. He employs glass to distort images, patterns, and forms, revealing how physical forces affect spacetime. Sublime Scales showcases intricate patterns created using Venetian glass cane techniques. These patterns symbolise life paths and how forces disrupt them, referencing both quantum-scale phenomena and Earth’s topography. In the vastness of the cosmos and the intricacies of the quantum realm, Hoogstad Hay discovers a profound sense of wonder. His art breaks down conventional perceptions of the physical world, inviting viewers to engage with reflective surfaces and contemplative interiors. Through his work, he encourages introspection about one’s place in the universe.
