Light Worker
The sculpture Light Worker is made with Uranium glass and part of my long passion for understanding and harnessing consciousness and the power of healing.
My journey in sculpting creates a bridge without words that move people on individual levels as does consciousness.
The Uranium glass was smuggled by a Russian immigrant into this country in the “50’s, with a handful of other glass nuggets that she had taken home from a plant that made glass. When she passed away her family didn’t know what to do with the glass pieces and walla it became Light Worker.
Uranium glass is glass which has had uranium, usually in oxide diuranate form, added to a glass mix before melting for coloration. The proportion usually varies from trace levels to about 2% uranium by weight, although some 20th-century pieces were made with up to 25% uranium. Wikipedia
Did you know: Uranium glass is unique in that it is mildly radioactive and will fluoresce (glow) under an ultraviolet light, such as a black light.glassfacts.info
