I created a series of Glass Tapestries from 2007-2011 when I began to see my jewelry as models for these larger scale pieces. I was interested in making glass into something that is soft and tactile as I find that shiny glass can sometimes repel the viewer. People have told me that they remind them of armor which was not my intension but I think they served as that for me at the time I was making them. They are made from 1000’s of pieces of glass murrini (patterned cane) that I hot-worked, carved and sewed together.
