Supine Horizons

In an open air pier, bulbous glass vessels are suspended in the air from top to bottom. There are four rows of glass vessels, a few contain live mussels that are filtering water in real time. Below the suspended vessels is a shallow fountain basin filled with water trickling down from above, which has been filtered by the mussels. In the basin are pearl blankets in various mounds, the pearls range from snowy white pearlescent to the darker outer shell color of mussels. The pearl blankets were hand sewn and shimmer with each drop of water that comes into contact with them.
