The artist states: "While my work hovers between subjects of scientific curiosity, fairy tales and dreams, I use images of children to open our eyes to a mysterious sensibility we may have lost. My children- protagonists are immaculate in their innocence, transmitting a savage view of our own isolation. I examine the child’s identity in a world of adverse layers. The overlay and containment of irreconcilable natures – of disease and beauty, of intimacy and of distance and of innocence and knowledge – have typified the search I have found most important in my work."

With an impressive career in glass, Sibylle has been a resident artist at several prestigious galleries including Corning Museum of Glass; she has also taught at schools such as Pilchuck and Penland; also represented with several solo exhibitions and is in permanent collections internationally.

Good condition.
