When glass breaks, it’s garbage. When it bends, it’s art. Just ask Eric Markow and Thom Norris, who collaborate on glass sculptures as Markow & Norris. The latest collection was inspired by the pliability of Japanese origami. From September 3 to October 9, these color-splashed limited-editions will be for sale at Establishment, a gallery-shop in New York. Pieces such as chocolate-tinged Cocoa Azure and kaleidoscopic Eastern Sunset flaunt little bits of glass fringe. Pink Lotus, a six-pointed blossom, was made by layering two separate three-pointed pieces. And five white woven-glass shapes hover overhead as a bird in Peace Crane, Markow & Norris’s first mobile.
