Glass Installation
This eight piece, suspended glass installation, is inspired by seaweed forms and their pods within.
To create each individual glass form, I have firstly poured liquid glass into a seaweed-like shape, moulded in sand. Pre-formed cane and coloured spheres are dropped onto the glass and encased under another liquid layer. The still-hot glass is then lifted out from the sand mould to be streched and twisted into a more organic form.
Suspended together, these eight elegant 'Ribbons' serve as a dramatic room divider or window art with a fluid effect.

Each piece is individually suspended from above only, allowing for subtle spinning movement to reflect seaweed flowing in a sea current. If the installation is displayed against a wall, with lights directed onto the glass, interesting shadows are projected onto the wall, mirroring the ribbon shapes and adding extra depth to the whole piece.
