Nielsen's artistry is a symphony of controlled chaos. His blown and cast glass sculptures are layered, distorted, and visually capture the kinetic energy poured into their making.
He applies molten glass from heated coloured glass rods, blurring the line between painting and sculpting, incorporating unconventional materials such as automotive paint. Each piece is cyclically cooled and reheated over weeks, the phasing adding depth and narrative.
While some works offer depth of view into their cyclical layering, others such as “You’re A Hideous Thing Inside” are coated entirely in metalized glass highlighting the abstracted form and texture of the work instead.
