Breakaway Glass Pane

Sleuth | McCarter Theatre Center | design by Alexander Dodge | 2020

Isomalt sugar substitute was melted and tempered to easily shatter upon impact, then poured into the mold and left to harden/cool. Isomalt was chosen over sugar for its clarity. Final frames were blow torched to remove surface bubbles and sealed in a clear acrylic spray for long lasting transparency. Silicone mold and 14 panes constructed over 1 week, before production was postponed due to COVID-19.
