"The material is often where my thinking starts. I’ve used glass on a few occasions: for example, I did a piece called One Day This Glass Will Break (1995), which is a stack of glasses with a one-word engraving on each. I don’t really make things from scratch; I’d rather destroy something. The premonition that this fragile material will break is the inspiration behind my piece for Glasstress: a glass drum I call Decoy, as it lures people in to want to beat the drum, whereupon it will shatter. The drumroll will be falling glass." - Cornelia Park
