London, November 2024

Wild Lands glass sculptures were created together with master glassmakers during the International Glass Symposium in Bohemia, Czechia in November of 2024. 

The curvaceous forms appear to grow organically from their bases and they are inspired by mushrooms and growing organisms. Four unique pieces were handblown in white, pistachio, smoke, and cyclamen hues.
The main raw material used to make glass is silica sand. Fire is the catalyst which transforms this sand into a hot liquid mass in the furnace, which is heated up to 1500 degree Celsius. Once a hot blob is formed, it can then be handblown. The voluptuous forms are blown and then cooled down in the furnace over a couple of days. Once cooled the glass is cut and polished. It is a magical process, the earth turning into glass through fire.

Four unique pieces were created during Symposium, one in white, one in brown, one in pistachio green and one in cyclamen pink.
