Sallie Portnoy

cast glass & stone

Inspiration often is an enigma to me, revealing itself through the materials I work with—especially glass, a most magical medium that embodies both strength and fragility. Its ever-changing interplay with light creates a sense of alchemy, shaping forms that seem to emerge from the depths of my subconscious. My work explores human nature, the human form, psychology, mysticism, ritual, and the mysteries of existence…with often a touch of humour.
