2013 Winner

2013 Finalist

Tom MooreRichmond, South Australia, Australia



Massive Microscopic Bud


Blown and solid glass, silver leaf
82 H x 42 W x 24 D cm


Massive Microscopic Bud is the largest character I have ever made and one of the most intricately detailed. It strives to unify themes that have engaged my creative practice since the beginning.

I like to invent new creatures combining plants, animals and machines, imagining that everything is alive and curious.
