Sarcophagus. The
sarcophagus form was used
to house 16 life-sized
elephant tusk forms that
were hand-blown out of

professional glass blowers
who assisted me during my

material was meant to evoke the beauty of the animal from which these tusks were taken
from and to, despite the size of these large animals, reference the fragility of life.
