“The house now communes with two gardens, one made of leaves and passing birds, the other of winds and migrant clouds.”
Flowstones (Riverine) is a series of glass sculptures created as part of a project titled Elements for a Light Garden. Each hand-blown hollow sculpture was partially filled with water collected from the headwaters of Silver Creek, a tributary of the Credit River, within the Niagara Escarpment UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in Ontario, Canada. Holding equal parts of air and water, these elemental garden capsules suggest self-sustaining biomes. Air and water are maintained in equilibrium indefinitely without perceptible change.
