Light from a projector hits the back of this hand-made glass orb and the surface becomes a screen. We watch a murky human figure, swimming, as if suspended inside the glass. We hear bubbles rising to the surface, distorted by an underwater microphone. Glowing and self contained, the sculpture is reminiscent of other watery worlds: eggs, the specimen jars from natural history collections, our planet earth. There is an opening at the top of the sculpture, its contents permeable, open to spill or contamination.
