She has a Dragon Tattoo
Flameworked borosilicate glass
40 H x 16 W x 13 D cm
Born of a drunken thought or the result of a carefully laid out representative symbol, tattoos on skin are a reflection of the wearers conscious and subconscious ambitions, desires, culture, a past lived, a future wished for. Transformed into 3D, the tattoo takes on the sculptural form of popular culture.
