Building a Glass Reef

In her Glass Reef project she has been exploring marine life unique to coral reefs.  By using small hand torches she can explore the movement, structure, and pattern found in coral reef life.  Many coral reefs are threatened and under attack. Through this Glass Reef project she draws attention to this hidden, fragile world.  In addition, she has been developing special glass working techniques for this project. Using these unique glass methods, she can create detailed brain corals and seaweeds patterns.
