To recognize Anne Awad's service on the Human Rights Commission, I created this HeartBox. A story she told me of being in Kenya inspired it's design.

Thinking again of Africa bogolanfini, or mud cloth, influenced the canes I designed to use as a veneer over glass (baby food jars).

Inside the top of these small pots you'll see this design.

When creating this piece I thought of a woman dressed in a shawl wearing a hat with hatpin.

Blue and lacy. Althought it looks askew in this photo this pot actually stands straight. It too is formed over glass.

In the style of Gustav Klimt this pot includes translucent shades of burgandy, yellow, fuschia, and bright pink. An extruding blends these colors together to create others. Can you see a hint of green? Veneer over glass.
