Cast and hand carved glass
30 H x 52 W x 14.5 D cm
This work is inspired by the Japanese Kimono with the upper form suggestive of a torso or shoulder; the blue interior form an internal glow - reminiscent of a life force. The material qualities of transparency, translucency, and reflection create fertile ground for exploration through kiln cast glass. My work is underpinned by an interest in manipulating and understanding properties of glass associated with light transmission.
