Take Away From The Talk
Nothing really is out of bounds, not even the sex life of whales. Rindon discovered that when whales climax they experience colour in their brains which is unusual because apparently they don’t normally see in colour. This can only mean that they have a heightened experience. To make art from this is a unique and highly creative idea. Rindon has created the most beautiful glass sculptures which allow for the changing of light that passes through them with time. He has also used leather and video in his work. He sometimes works with people who are experienced glass makers to help with his projects.
