Glass

2019

Reminscent of Lalique's cast glass objects, which often embraced visual softness, despite the hardness of the material, this beautifully cast glass flower seems to internally glow, when illuminated with light. This one of a kind object was created by carving wax and then using a lost-wax technique to replicate it out of a soft beautiful green glass. The density and thickness of the glass produce the varied hues within the piece.
