Item description
Three glass sculptures of similar design, two in the front and one in the back. The largest sculpture in the back is on a teal base. The sculpture is made out of clear blue knitted glass, and begins rounded on the bottom, leading up to a thinner circular shape, like a neck. The neck has seven leaf-like shapes encompassing a round, textured, peach-colored core, similar to an unbloomed flower. An LED light rod is encompassed within the sculpture, illuminating the inside and flower. The two sculptures at the front are similar with a smaller design featuring five leaf-like shapes and different textured, peach-colored cores illuminated from within.

I work in glass sculpture. During the pandemic I felt myself trapped. My work in knitted glass became cage-like, with interior spaces as metaphor for shelter. I began working with LED lighting, having illuminated objects being contained within a cage - the cage of social distancing during the pandemic. The light inside was me, trapped, but projecting optimism out into the world.
