In December 2009, I was approached by a gentleman to do a memorial vessel that would house his wife's ashes who had passed away unexpectedly earlier in the year. They loved Africa and had admired my giraffe pieces for several years. I was honored to create this fine art vessel. The piece was delivered to him in July 2010.
Spiritual reliquaries are glass vessels of living
animal spirits. Kiln formed and hand blown glass
techniques combine to create three dimensional
vessels. The vessels are in two catagories. There are
the FINE ART images of different wildlife as in my
large fine art wall and disc pieces that are one of a
kind. The GEO-VESSELS have different animal tracks
abstractly crossing their surface and each one is
slightly different and made individually but there are
multiple vessels featuring the same track.
These spiritual reliquaries feature kiln-formed glass by Kathleen Sheard and glass blowing by Lynn Read and Associates.
