The glasses are sinuously-shaped, egg-like forms that cradle an alluring, colored pill nestled inside the receptacle. These pills are not representations of pharmacy-issued medication for head-aches, depression and other ailments; they are the artist's critical, ironic comment on contemporary society, born of careful reflections on our lifestyle, with its disturbing but daily use-abuse of medications of every type. The artist's triumph is that these glasses become the alleged-cure: their brazen claim is to dislodge pharmaceutical pills and replace their chemical cures with a hearty, pick-me-up laugh. The necklaces for the series "Pearls in Pills" are crafted 'a lume' using two-toned glass paste, some of which are blown in the 'incalmo' style, with either opaque or transparent coloration.
