In this video Jocelyne describes both the ideas behind and the process in creating "Sound Wave" (2007-ongoing).
A glass vessel is blown and molten glass is poured directly into the container. While the glass is still molten it is subjected to the vibrations of live sound (bell ringing, screaming, cello, drum, violin, etc). After the molten contents set up, the sound waves become permanent optic striations in the vessel. The contents become a visual and material unity of process and outcome, suggesting the sublime from the ordinary.
Musicians come in to play music for the glass to "hear". The video documentation of these performances have included drumming, cello, screaming, violin, accordion, flute, bassoon, harmonica, bells and Appache flute.

Slide Library is an ever-growing collection of glass panels with scars, cracks and other deformities caused by stressing the glass while still hot with various materials and processes, including: splashing with water; contact with liquid tin or various objects; and sound vibrations from the artist's family's LP collection. The stresses are applied to blown glass bubbles. When cooled, the scared glass is cut out and flattened. The complete installation includes fourteen large shelves and over 1000 glass panels. Light is used to make the stresses more visible.

33 old televisions are tuned in to static. White noise hisses loudly from each TV. A blanket of dryer lint from public Laundromats covers the entire sphere, only to expose the static patterns of the TV sets through oil filled lenses.
This work engages the idea of the domestic as a potential danger, as a virus. Domestic material such as lint and televisions coalesce into a bizarre and science fiction-like joke/nightmare. "Static Virus confronts our Neo-Victorian, post-Scientific Age by suggesting our implacable awareness of Big Science's failed utopian quest to sterilize our world from viruses is part of our one-dimensional fear bred form misunderstanding the role of viruses and dust as the best carriers of information and instigators of change." (Adams, Erica -- This Side UP no9 2000)

In Disco Ball for the New Millennium, AKA Caustic Virus old house windows are used to cons
In Disco Ball for the New Millennium, AKA Caustic Virus old house windows are used to construct an icosahedron shape. Each window frame, besides being altered in shape, is being subjected to one major stress point on the glass itself via the pointing system used to hold the glass in the frame. This iscosahedron rotates slowly on a disco ball motor and a cinematic effect is played out on the vintage projector screens that line the periphery. The phenomenon of caustic surface reflection brings into image the stress points as they roll by on the screens.
On another level this piece has come out of research on the body and the microscopic goings-on of stress related viral manifestations. The icosahedron, within the discipline of virology, is a schematic signifier for the adenovirus (HIV and Herpes having the most notoriety). Hopefully, the leap from the subtle, yet potentially pane snapping, application of pressure onto the glass to the actual cause and effect of stress on our lives and bodies is approachable. That the invisible goings-on of the stressed glass can parallel the invisible accumulation of stress in our bodies and lives, that this seemingly hideous reality can, at moments, bring us to points of resolute clarity and beauty.

This is video documentation from the production of Jocelyne Prince's conceptual glass seri
This is video documentation from the production of Jocelyne Prince's conceptual glass series called Sound Wave. In the piece, molten glass is poured into a solid blown glass vessel. Then it is fitted with an apparatus that holds a speaker whose sound is directed into the molten glass in the receptacle. Live musical performances on single instruments are miked and directed into the molten glass. The sound creates waves or striations in the glass which are recorded as the glass solidifies.
