Coalescence describes the phenomenon of bubbles merging. UW Glass has been focused on the bubble this semester, interpreting this elemental form in a multitude of dimensions. Our semester began with inspiration and deep observation of Peter Ivy’s Soap Bubble Holder (and various interpretations of it), where a bubble is protected enough to witness the transition to a nearly-invisible bubble made of two layers of soap molecules as gravity pulls the water downwards. Join us for our reception on Thursday, December 4, from 6-8pm to see how we’ve shaped and floated our bubbles since then!
