cathy strokowsky: glass and fiber

Galerie Elena Lee (Montreal) is representing glass artist Cathy Strokowsky at SOFA Chicago this weekend.  Strokowsky’s bulbous vessels, a fusion of blown glass, lampworked glass and woven artificial gut, look like sea urchin-botanical hybrids that have been plucked from an underwater landscape.
