Cam Michael — Small 'Armchair' in Sapphire Blue Glass

The cast glass couch is a small sculpture you can hold in your hands. 

"I made my first cast glass armchair on residency at Canberra Glassworks in 2022-23. I made them as something comfortable to hold and to look at in times of discomfort, to have something of comfort to ground me." - Cam Michael
