Sallie Portnoy Sculpture

Cast lead crystal glass
81cm H
unique

I am investigating & exploring the passage of light & time, the subtlety, sensuality & simplicity of the line, & the extraordinary beauty of glass crystal.

These liminal glass forms mirror the fragility of the environment we live in. The nascent grasses emerge from their earth-bound pod forms and rise up to the light; symbolically to a higher level of consciousness where our awareness over- rides our gluttonous drive for efficiency that has undermined the stability of our environment.
