Glass on glass

My ‘Native Botany Vase’ series came about after hiking through remote areas of the Northern Territory and stumbling upon some remarkable plants. I wanted to showcase a collection of Australia's stunning flora that are often overlooked, and rarely make their way into flower arrangements and gardens. It was fitting to depict these plants as etchings on top of an irregular and organically shaped hand blown glass vase. The beauty of transplant glass is that these botanical etchings are overlaid on top of one another, manifesting in a three dimensional drawing of the Australian bush.
