DOMUS de JANAS


DOMUS DE JANAS translates to fairy’s houses. The
inspiration for this series came from these ancient-architectural
fairy-house ruins of my homeland, Sardinia Italy.
The design revisits the original entrances of these houses.
The horns symbolize Minotaur and the expanded
influence of the Mycenae Culture on the Mediterranean
region. The glass, poured directly onto the metal frame,
is annealed over a five-day period. The top pieces are
constructed from embossed copper, sterling silver and
brass. The center is hand-blown glass and spins on the
vertical axis. Each piece is mounted on a metal-wooden
stand.
