Step Away From the Shadows
Graal-encalmo blown, slumped and plated glass
120 H x 45 W x 35 D cm
Real life Fashion and Advertising champion fresh faced sophisticated Youth
Culture. Similarly Glass world popularity stakes favour refined ‘cool-school’
objects, overshadowing battle scarred ‘tough-stuff’. This sculpture finally
reconfigures its crusty ‘pre-loved’ components. This meandering process
parallels life’s journey through ‘thick ’n’ thin’. ‘Mutton dressed up as
lamb’ or ‘Latter-day debutante’ - your choice!
