Punto in Aria (Stitches in Air)
Pâte de verre
60 H x 35 W x 30 D cm
My contemporary connotation of the ‘cape collar’ retains its historical elegance and homage as an heirloom. I have crafted pâte de verre lace in which glass frit captures the decoration and detail found in the intricate weave. The effect is delicate and complex.
