Drifter uttrycker enkelhet och rymd med en inneslutande figur i koppar som flyter fritt i sin farkost. Drifter är Bertil Valliens senaste form för sina farkoster med den svart/vita glasspiralen som Bertil ofta återkommer till. Drifter har en gjuten klack som gör att den står stadigt utan ställning.

„For me, the blowing room is the centre of everything. It’s like ladling matter out of a volcano and watching the glowing lava turn to ice. Knowing the exact moment at which to capture a shift of light or expression and wrench the secret from the glass is what it’s all about.“
