Fused Glass: Hurricanes
Please enjoy samples of my work.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, I began to make fused glass hurricanes, PMC hurricanes and tears. It was a creative way to grieve for my family and the destruction to my hometown of New Orleans. I could connect through the shattered glass with the devastated lives of my family and thousands of other families. Initially the designs were very "blue" as
that certainly corresponded to my depression. Other pieces began
to take on lines, hot colors and disjointedness corresponding
to the rage and anger I was feeling towards the terrible way
victims were treated by the government--federal, state and local.
I couldn't believe this was happening in America!!! I give the
profits of the sale of the hurricanes to help my family and
New Orleans friends.
Please remember New Orleans and don't let this historic American city die! If you want to help in the recovery, please visit Friends of New Orleans.
