CURRENT AFFAIRS EYE

Current affairs, inspired by the fluid hues of Venice. Its surface shimmers with a blend of blue mica pigments, reminiscent of water in motion. White and transparent beads evoke the delicate foam of sea waves, while occasional flecks of red and gold nod to the city’s rich Venetian history. Constructed from dead-stock glass beads, the piece speaks to the city’s delicate balance—where nature and urban life intertwine, highlighting the need for mindful stewardship of fragile environments. The two sculptures, while distinct in their details, share a common thread: the reclamation of overlooked materials. Collected Glances brings a playful focus to recycling, while Tide’s Gaze elevates this conversation, suggesting a more profound connection to the environment. Together, they act as a commentary on the interplay between the discarded and the enduring, with the smaller piece reflecting the personal and the larger engaging with the broader world, much like the intimate and expansive waters of Venice.
