Echinus

The Echinus series came from Huskie’s love of manipulating hot glass and the tactile qualities of it.

They are inspired by Sea Urchin shells. She is fascinated by how every shell is different and how nature has created such beautiful patterns.

They have a texture that draws the viewer in and this is something she wanted to harness in the glass, balancing out the want to touch with the fragility.

Each strand is added individually and then Huskie manipulates it with her tools, this is as close to touching the glass you can get, it allows her to become one with the glass and the process.
