Pâte de verre glass elements sewn onto organza

Day & Night tapestry panels are an exploration in developing
new ways of assembling glass elements and combining
other materials with glass.
The contrasting duo of Day & Night is inspired by images seen from above the clouds on an aeroplane while flying over the
Pacific Ocean at an altitude of 33,000 feet.
