Linda Ross

The work is a comment on vernacular statuary installed in American yards, which evolved out of the mid nineteenth century when disposable income and leisure time allowed people to devote time to ornamental gardens. This also coincides with mass production, development of plastic and the collection of very affordable unnatural "nature".

These pieces are cast or hand blown glass taken back to original processes, connecting history and infusing a new aura into the work. Placed in a garden setting, the gazing globe reflects a small fantasy world created in a new context.
