Web of stars is inspired by the feeling I had as a child reading the poem "Winkin, Blinkin, and Nod". The idea of sailing in a boat in the sky, among the stars, was such a wonderful fantasy.
The framework of this piece is made from heat bent bamboo canes, detailed with knotless netted waxed linen thread studded with fused by the artist beads. The boat is made of low fired, slumped, and cold worked cobalt blue glass, with a cast paper and crosscut bamboo lace-like design, ornamented with knotless netted thread. The boat hangs from hand forged steel hooks.
