Traore Dahlberg’s glass objects are the result of various historically and personally charged materials being melted and fused into the glass; creating new purpose for the discarded. The ambiguously titled White Material series instead fuses organic material in the form of cotton yarns into the glass. The white cotton is hand-spun by women in Burkina Faso who have been excluded from their communities after being accused of witchcraft. By gathering in a collective, these women have succeeded in creating a new social existence and becoming financially self-sufficient.
