Miniature Forest Fern

A sculptural study in arrested nature, the Miniature Forest Fern renders the organic geometry of frond and stem in clear glass, each element shaped entirely by hand to preserve the spontaneous, living quality that only the maker's touch can impart. At fourteen inches in height and with a generous depth and spread, it occupies a console or vitrine shelf with the quiet authority of a botanical specimen elevated to fine art. The transparency of the medium allows light to move through the piece as it would through a greenhouse pane, casting delicate shadows that shift with the hour and animate any interior around it.
