A sculpture of two glass bottles joined by woven wire by critically acclaimed contemporary sculptor and installation artist Lucy Slivinski based in Chicago. Known for her use of salvaged and found items, Lucy masterfully joins otherwise ordinary pieces creating layers of texture, shadow, and pattern.
