 With this piece, I have explored and combined the fragility of seashells with the raw heat of hot glass. |  I was first inspired by the contrast between the harsh exterior of sea anemones and the delicate interior of the shell. |  After further research I discovered the interior patterns of other shells, the chambers within them, and I felt compelled to explore this idea. |  The pieces are very technique driven. I wanted to replicate the delicate interior structure in a way that defies the method of making. |  By using techniques of making rather than surface decoration, it allowed me to explore in depth not only the idea itself, but also my skills as a glass craftsperson. |
