現居於美國西雅圖的日本玻璃藝術家 #小林えり子 @eriko_glass 的創作過程工序繁複，完成作品玩味十足。她藉着這些超寫實的「 玻璃美食 」不斷探討我們與飲食文化和懷舊品牌的關係。
她擅長以高溫熔鑄多個的微細組件。在玻璃雕塑的創作過程中，不準確的熔融溫度會導致玻璃組件過度熔化，錯誤的模具形狀亦會造成受熱溫度不一致，退火時間的計算失誤更會導致玻璃產生裂縫。因此她反覆試驗，研發了多種獨特的工具和技術，並透過精密的溫度控制，創造理想的形態。
小林曾以西雅圖臭名昭著的 「 口香糖牆 」 作為靈感，因牆上的五味雜陳為她帶來感官上的刺激。她認為每一片均象徵著生命流過的痕跡，所以希望透過創作自己的 「 口香糖牆 」，與更多觀眾分享當地遊客的集體故事。她更為此而製作了一張以青銅鑄造的嘴巴，在她的「 玻璃口香糖 」上印上牙痕。
小林以我們生活上最為熟悉的事物作為主題，希望引起觀者的共鳴，並讓我們重新思考日常的平凡事。
Seattle-based Japanese glass artist #ErikoKobayashi infuses a sense of playfulness into her technically intricate creations. Crafted entirely from glass, her hyper-realistic pieces delve into our relationship with meal times, comfort foods, and the nostalgia of iconic brands.
Using the hot casting technique, she fuses individual pieces at high temperatures in handmade molds. In creating glass sculptures, inaccurate fusion temperatures caused excessive melting of the components, errors in mold shape led to temperature inconsistencies, and miscalculations of annealing time resulted in glass cracks. Through experimentation, she developed her own tool and techniques and fine-tuned the temperature control to achieve the desired shapes.
Kobayashi also found inspiration at the renowned #GumWall in #PikePlaceMarket in Seattle, which stirred her senses with a myriad of scents and sights. She finds delight in the multitude of visitors who leave their mark on the wall, enabling her to visualize the unseen and share in the collective experiences of those who have passed through. Kobayashi even created a bronze cast of a mouth to imprint teeth marks onto her glass gum.
Kobayashi utilizes forms we encounter in our everyday lives to engage her viewer with the familiar, but also to challenge them to question and rethink these objects.
