This installation consists of three works and a specially designed support that enhances its elegance and movement. The glass sculptures were created using canes and murrine with the incalmo blowing technique. The two pieces on the sides were engraved with the inciso and battuto style. The tiny bases, the sinuous bodies and the tapered necks stretching upwards are reminiscent of a group of dancers.

During his visits to Australia, Lino Tagliapietra was fascinated by the Aboriginal designs. In this work he tried to replicate their very colourful patterns, using a double blowing technique, overlapping two different layers of glass. This special technique gives depth to the design and lets the artist elegantly finish the upper part. The outside is blown using only murrine, the inside Lino used multicolour canes.

This group of works is made using the multicolour murrine glassblwoing technique. Lino Tagliapietra chose the cylindrical shape in order to be able to use glass like a canvas and to create an interaction between transparency and opacity.

A piece from one of the most iconic of Lino Tagliapietra's series, made using the incalmo blowing technique with multicolour canes. Dinosaur was then cold worked with the battuto and inciso techniques, in order to enhance the graphic and chromatic effects. The very tiny and transparent base supports a huge sculpture with a long curly neck, a daring design.

This sculpture was created using a very complicated technique, through a long blowing process. Multicolour canes have been fused and twisted in order to create the hypnotic spiral that directs one’s gaze towards the centre. The thin metal stand is specially designed to make the work appear as if it is floating.
