Item description
A knitted glass sculpture displayed on a metal stand with two holders on either side for the sculpture to rest in. The sculpture resembles a sun, with a hollow, circular knitted base of orange and yellow glass, with a hole in the center. Countless petal-like yellow shapes line the outside of the circular base, like sun rays.

Untitled 7
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.
