Blown glass and rope
dimensions vary, largest buoy is 12 in (30cm)


My first introduction to the concept of glass blowing was through my grandfather. He had a collection of Japanese glass buoys that I absolutely loved to play with as a child.

‘Slack’, also known as Buoy, was created during my career at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design where I studied Glass and Art Education, and earned a BFA of 3D Fine Arts with a concentration in Glass. This piece is designed to be an interactive installation where the audience is encouraged to touch and play with the piece. I wanted to share and capture the feeling I had as a child when I first discovered glass buoys and was able to roll around with them.
