These pieces were made by blowing glass into a mold made of three metal hearts; hearts incorporated into security fences and gates in the Southwest. The glass pushed into the voids creating a group of varying bodies representing the act of longing.
Based off of Bronze-Age ceramic vessels, I utilized plastic packaging from toys and food, to form the basis for these mold-blown glass vessels which question the shelf-life our experiences as mothers and the loss embedded in growth.
