Hidden Within Plain Sight

This piece celebrates one of our planets' most amazing creatures.

The chameleon’s closely packed light-reflecting crystal cellular structure (Chromatophores) are comprised of thousands of fused glass elements.

The visibility and colour changes when viewed from different angles and as light changes throughout day. The Piece blends into different environments like a chameleon does in the wild as it adapts to its environment and stresses.

Let's hope that this amazing creature doesn't disappear permanently from our world as the stresses on its environment increase.
