Sabine Marcelis: Material as Master

Marcelis works in resin, glass and stone, where colour and light are not applied to a material but decided inside it. The relationship runs both ways. What a process will allow determines what gets made, and what gets made determines what the studio learns to do next. Across one-off works, exhibition design and commissions for manufacturers producing at scale, the same question sits underneath. Who is leading, the designer or the material.
