The 'scent bottles' are part of an evolving series of pieces that refer to the tradition of outsized and highly decorated glass bottles used for promotion purposes in perfumeries or apothecaries. Each piece is composed of a number of components that are chosen from a stockpile of blown, cut and polished blown forms that I use as if they were a collection of found objects.
