French artist Lætitia Jacquetton spent one month at the residency as part of a collaboration with Taranaki sculptor, Chauncey Flay.

Jacquetton’s hand-blown glass sits effortlessly on Flay’s rough and smooth surfaces, embracing the contours of the rock. There is an almost ironic synergy to these collaborative works, which on the one hand connects two divergent materials, and on the other displays a palpable contraction between the transparent fragility of the glass and solidity of stone. Jacquetton & Flay’s combination of discordant materials, highlights this tension by emphasising both strength and vulnerability, as well as permanence and ephemerality. Uniting all of these works is an inherent ambiguity between material and object, with the subtle balance between surface and subject.
