I like the physical nature of building the sculpture–it seems very old-fashioned and traditional. The idea of the material itself–it’s friendly, flexible, there’s a glow from in it.
see more work here and watch a video of the making process here. also, pick up the summer, 2009 issue of fiberarts magazine to read a great article on this artist.
