Amber Red Fox Skull

The Eternal Forest: Amber Fox Skull Glass Sculpture

A profound intersection of natural history and fine art, this one-of-a-kind glass sculpture is a luminous tribute to the cycles of the wild. Hand-cast in a deep, fiery amber, this piece was born from a fox skull found during a quiet trek through the forests of Upstate New York.

Through the transformative power of glass, a fragile remnant of the forest floor becomes an everlasting monument to life, death, and the beauty found in between.

A Modern Memento Mori

This sculpture serves as a vibrant memento mori—a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. By reproducing a found organic object in solid, kiln-cast glass, the piece explores the "life cycles of the beginning and the end." It captures the moment when a physical life concludes and a spiritual or artistic journey begins, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own connection to the earth.

The Art of the Lost Wax Process

Crafted using the intricate lost wax casting technique, this sculpture is a singular creation. A mold was created directly from the original found skull, ensuring every anatomical detail—from the delicate nasal passages to the sharp canine teeth—is preserved in glass. Because the mold is destroyed during the firing process, this exact piece can never be recreated.

Key Features
