Fighting Dragons & Calmer Chameleon

These pieces were part of a project to make a puzzle of closely interlocking pieces using water jet cutting technology. The two pieces were designed using AutoCAD and were decorated differently using fused glass elements, sandblasting, and engraving.

​

'Fighting dragons' contains two Chinese dragons fighting over the pearl of wisdom.

​

Chameleons get stressed and camouflage themselves in their environment. Since this chameleon is visible it is appropriately named 'Calmer Chameleon'.

​

I based my BA Hons Glass & Ceramics dissertation on how technology has changed the skillset of glass artists and this can be viewed here.
