Cuttings are a series of vessels which are the result of a common reflection about one-off glass objects that pay homage to nature. Matali Crasset often refers to forms in nature for their structural capacities. Together with Vincent Breed, she chose a tree in which they marked parts of the branches, cutting them and keeping the selected elements to create bundles that are used as a kind of mould.
It is within these clusters of branches that breed has blown glass, burning into the wood and picking up imprints of tree textures. The glass bubble goes from a fluid form to undulations and deformations which evoke matter in a boiling fluid state. The length of breed's breath and the burnt form created by the glass in fusion results in a set of pieces.
