Carmen Lozar’s work is another example of “narrative sculpture” in the best sense; each piece tells you a little story with its character, pose and accessories. I love her menagerie of imperfectly mended animals, and her series of empty garments on hangers.
I had no idea you could even do this with glass. Some of her pieces have opaque finishes, while others take advantage of the translucency of glass, even becoming transparent to reveal little secrets. Can someone please explain to me the difference between flameworked and lampworked glass? This isn’t the first time I’ve been amazed by someone working in this media.

Extraordinary! I’ve NEVER thought of using translucency as part of the narrative of a piece. This changes everything! And Carmen’s inventive use of pairing glass with automata makes me giddy with joy. Vaowow!
