White Sands
Fused, hotworked and coldworked glass
126.5 H x 37.6 W x .6 D cm
Respecting the power of place and the importance of a sense of belonging, White Sands reflects the moments when I’m truly at one with my environment.
In reflecting these moments, I hope to highlight the importance of being, and the attachment and memories I find associated with a place.
