‘Aequilibrium’ is Latin for a level position, equilibrium, balance. It also suggests equivalence, or reciprocity. Tan Sock Fong’s Aequilibrium II, the current sequel to her 2017 first iteration, is a development of these values, enlarging the schema of how glass and stone can level each other off. In doing so she plays glass against glass, glass against stone, and stone against stone. At every level of play, she suggests that glass equals stone. She creates grainy glass rocks placed against rough-hewn stones, finding the natural balance between these random shapes. In all this, Sock Fong is adamant about play, and every glass piece is worked by warm fusion of many coloured bits and bobs of torched glass into a body of clear cracked glass.
