The seas of The Bahamas are unquestionably beautiful. These waters are stunning, clean and clear, in myriad shades of aqua and blue defining our shores. Most of our visitors are attracted to this phenomenon, awed by the amazing colour and clarity of the ocean and the life contained within it. Paradise for divers, snorkellers or those who simply want to bathe and absorb its restorative powers. ‘Bubbles’ catches the essence of The Bahamas and embodies and represents all the qualities we associate with our water - clarity of light, floating, weightlessness, translucency, freedom of movement. This body of work includes acrylic studies on canvas and paper which influenced the blown glass pieces inspired by the merging of the vast, mysterious life between the water - plants, corals, creatures and bubbles - man’s interaction with the ocean. The completed work is designed to have a playful quality - children blowing bubbles, releasing balloons or mimicking the life-giving release of bubbles from a diver’s tank. It is envisioned that the work be suspended above ground, floated between ceiling and floor. Glass with its transparent and seemingly weightless quality was the obvious medium for this creation, designed purposefully to echo the movement of the sea - nothing is static - all is flowing in continual motion.
