Butter me up explores the tension between fluidity and form. Its softly rounded body, in translucent shades of champagne, cream and pale amber, is enveloped by generous droplets of glass that appear to melt and slowly descend along its surface.

Each droplet is individually applied in molten glass and carefully blown into shape, creating a delicate interplay of volume, transparency and reflection. Gold, silver and copper leaf are suspended within the glass, lending the sculpture a subtle, shifting luminosity. The result is a work that seems almost fluid despite its solid form, capturing the fleeting movement of molten glass in a permanent sculptural gesture.
