The quality of light at Hull Cove in Jamestown, Rhode Island, is captivating. I am spellbound by the way it caresses, lances, reflects, refracts, and explodes. I am also obsessed with the stunning variety of rocks found here. I initially sandcast a few rocks in glass, curious about transforming something considered so dense and immutable into something transparent and ethereal.

I then returned them to the site, where I became mesmerized by how, when buried cast-side down, looked like pools of ice, and, when flipped cast-side up, caught the sunlight and glowed like solid magma, and feels eerie, beautiful, and otherworldly. I am unsure what compelled me to make these rocks en masse, but feel that the answer will reveal itself over time.
