What happens when a glass sculptor blows glass with steel wires from end-of-life tyres? This innovative experiment was undertaken by glassblower Lisa Hartwig Ericson through the creative initiative Art of Recycling, a concept launched by Swedish Tyre Recycling that invites artists to interpret tyre recycling through their own artistic expression.
Lisa Hartwig Ericson, who is currently completing her Master’s degree in Craft at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design, was immediately captivated by the potential of the materials she encountered.
”I was drawn to the small steel particles left over after a tyre’s various components have been separated. These tiny wires formed an intriguing mesh and delicate pattern, and I became curious about what might emerge when combined with transparent glass,” explains Hartwig Ericson.
Art of Recycling welcomes participation from everyone within the creative sphere, including artists, creators, and designers who wish to interpret tyre recycling through their own artistic expression.
