SUMMARY:Exhibit - Considerations: An Installation by Sarah Vaughn
DESCRIPTION:February 15 – August 10\, 2025 | Atwell Gallery \nSarah Vaughn’s Considerations invites visitors to step into a landscape of thousands of carefully crafted glass river rocks. Made using techniques like blowing\, flame-working\, casting\, and laminating\, these fragile stones are stacked and arranged to create an immersive installation that explores how we experience and remember the world around us. Each glass rock represents a moment in time—some tied to personal memories\, others shaped from reclaimed glass\, blending stories of loss and creation. \nWebsite
