01.13.12 - 03.13.12Meghan Q. McCook’s Terra Hive series of blown glass terrariums seamlessly blend artistic exploration with functional craft. McCook creates flowing organic environments by blowing hot glass into a copper-wire structures. With the higher melting temperature of wire, the frame stays intact as the molten glass billows around the structure.
McCook relies on the natural fluidity of hot glass to reveal her process, and infuses the work with personal history or memory. The inclusion of epiphytes, or air plants, adds layers of physicality to the work. The seductive, brightly colored flowering plants and their intricate leaving and rooting formations intuitively match the sensual and natural forms created by the glass.
