At the heart of Carol’s work is a beautiful illusion; ropes of lead crystal that appear to have been knitted. In fact, the artist’s process does rely on knitting, but in flexible wax rope that, through the magic of lost wax casting, is transformed in to lush, glowing ribbons of translucent color. Carol builds complex structures from lines of colored glowing glass. Serious as it sounds, her work typically takes anthropomorphic and playful shapes. This tension between technique and form produces a dynamic and enchanting result.
