The Unbearable Lightness of Being II

One of the main inspirations for Ned's work is animals and how they interact with human societies. Kept in small pools for human entertainment, orcas often suffer from dorsal fin collapse as a result of their entrapment. This hand blown heavy glass sculpture is an example of Ned's ongoing investigation into this matter as well as the complicated nature of the glassmaking process.
