Glowing Specimen Panel Series by Steffen Dam
The glowing Specimen Panel series created by Danish toolmaker Steffen Dam. Steffen Dam is a disciplined master craftsman whose plants and invertebrates are beautifully executed and display an impressive material credibility. This is a notable technical achievement and merits admiration, but the greater question is once Steffen’s pseudo-specimens attract us, what do they have to tell us? Dam’s glass panels and jars contain alter-nature specimens of his imaginary universe. Through them he forges a path not necessarily to a new world but to a new perception of the one which surrounds us.
