CREATURES OF COMFORT
Creatures of Comfort was a sculpture installation from cast lead crystal glass, in collaboration with the paws of my two dogs; Penny and Bella. Creatures of Comfort was presented at Fitzroy Library and Bargoonga Nganjin North Fitzroy Library, and was funded through Yarra City Arts. Plaster casts of their paws and using using the ‘lost wax casting process’ enabled these to evolve into beautiful glass sculptures. I used Australian sourced lead crystal (Blackwood Crystal by James Thompson), along with the expertise of glass artist, Susan Reddrop, who operates out of her studio in Montsalvat .
