ABOUT THE SERIES
This series of cast glass sculptures was the initial study that was eventually made into an art installation at Oregon Health and Science University. The idea is that whiteness is a wish for a transition to health. The rising clouds represent our earth and our earthly existence. They suggest the aspirations of humankind and specifically, the desire of patients for their wellness. The drawings are a way to bring the conception from abstract into concrete place.
