Seabears

A series of works inspired by Pale Fire, a book by Vladimir Nabokov and thoughts of imaginary lands. The resulting work features a fictional cartography, the land of the Sea Bears; the places they frolic and roam, nests of fish skeletons and moss, and gardens of fictional plants and the seascapes they look over

" The sun lures the sea, the moon steals from the sun, the sea dissolves the moon."

Making begins with collecting and preparing material; double-glazed window units, wine, gin and champagne bottles. The bottles are collected in groups to ensure compatibility and then processed into flat glass sheets before use.
