Michelle Plucinsky
My work emerges from a place deeply connected to the fundamental elements of the natural world. Glass is particularly suited to emphasizing intangible forms in water, flame and sunlight. I find each new piece not only inspiring ideas for future projects, but also reminding me of the delicate application of balance. |
