Fritz Dreisbach created his “Mongo” series as a reaction to his controlled and symmetrical work. He was inspired by the organic appearance of his earliest work in which he could not yet control the molten material. The artist wanted to recreate that spontaneous feeling, pushing the glass to the limit of his command, by increasing the size and weight of the glass.
