“Showing both the beauty and struggle that growth can bring.”
This piece was created by first sculpting the figurative components, then blowing a glass cage using Iris Gold. Once the cage was cold it was carved to create openings. All the parts were brought back up to a thousand degrees, a clear bubble with red glass illustrations was formed, and that bubble was inflated inside of the Iris Gold cage. The cage then warps and stretches with the bubble. The figurative piece is then welded on, and one the entire piece is annealed, the final grinding and polishing steps are done.
