Fossils

Fossils

I am influenced by the simplicity and natural elegance of Asian art. These sculptural works are my response to this aesthetic. The botanical decoration inside has been developed through my experiences and learning through my signature Cast Glass Vessel series. Although these works are not nearly as massive these stand approximately ten inches tall and feature a potent botanical composition encased within this thickness of glass. These intimate vignettes are composed from natural elements such as fern fronds, small branches and leaves. During the encasing process the organic matter is entirely vaporized by the heat of the glass leaving behind an ghost-like outline. The ephemeral imprint is brought to life with the addition of raw silver foil, metallic glass powders and reactive shards. Each of these sculptures is one of a kind and individually numbered.
