Cast Glass "Light Matters"

Cast Glass "Light Matters"

This series of small figures (6" to 14" high) was done in kiln cast glass. I experimented with the traditional Lost Wax Method used for bronze casting until I figured out how to adapt it and cast glass.

Three images in this group are not of glass. "Three Gracies" is wax - yet to be cast and shows the link between my grandmother, my granddaughter and me (all named Grace.) "Eye of the Beholder" is a group of bronze figures that were the starting point for this series and reference the way different body types have gone in and out of "fashion" throughout history. "Bound and Determined" was carved from soapstone during a long, frustrating wait for kiln repairs to be done.

I have tried a large variety of sculptural methods and mediums - but glass speaks to me more clearly than anything else.
