Just In Case

Just In Case, 2010

2010, Low fire clay, glaze, kiln-formed glass, polychrome wood. 22”X16”X16”. 

Collection of Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, Cleveland, OH

 

In 2009 I was hit by a truck while I was walking. It was painful. It was hard.

I spent a lot of months recovering and this was the first piece that I made after my physical recovery.

The layers of redundant security in this piece relate to my title as “The Careful Queen”, in my family…that’s pre-accident…

I loved slumping the glass for the umbrella, carving the umbrella handle and fence posts from wood.

Fittingly, this is owned by Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, OH.
