Launch of new Simon Periton edition

 As part of The Multiple Store’s First Collection in 1998, Simon Periton produced a length of barbed wire hand-crafted in opaque, coloured glass.

“Barbed wire is practical, utilitarian. It is designed for use rather than beauty. Made in glass its practical use is denied. It becomes house trained. The hazards associated with its use turn upon its owner who must now take care of it. Handle with care – the fragile object.”

For his new edition in 2010, Simon has produced an edition of 35 in clear, borosilicate (reinforced) glass.

Materials:    Clear, borosilicate glass, wooden supports

Size:                695 x 90 x 47 mm boxed
