Using borosilicate glass attached to chunks of rock, artist Elena Fleury-Rojo’s sculptures feel like natural, aquatic-born merges of materials.
Fleury-Rojo’s sculptures are intended to blend elements of both land and sea, creating a merging of sturdy and delicate materials.
“Form is an integral part of this collection because I find the exquisite shapes within the coral almost otherworldly and there is a myriad of possibilities to expand my technical ability and artistic vision to future collections. With the traditional skills of flame working in danger of becoming obsolete & no longer passed down through active practice the endangered plight of the coral reefs draw a unique parallel with this situation.”

That juxtaposition between the rock and the glass is so interesting! As usual with the pieces I like the best, I want to touch them…
