that transforms a user and the surroundings into a system of particles.

Carol Milne knits with glass.
She created a technique of knitting strands of wax together and then encases the sculpture
in refractory mold material into which she pours molten glass.

As individual strands are weak and brittle on their own, but deceptively strong when
bound together.

live in the sky and this project is an exploration of that memory.

smaller space.
And now for the art of Scott Listfield featuring an astronaut that explores pop culture and
the present.
