Odalisque

The Odalisque pose is a traditional
pose found in paintings throughout history. Here I have created a relief with the glass.
The use of glass as a medium for sculpture along with this pose symbolizes, for me, the liberation of women in this country (USA) or even around the world. Not only are we learning the secrets of glass...we are free from the barbaric reputation that we once had.
(Hoping that the less civilized countries free the women from those traditions).
