I try to express more than our bodies. My ongoing interest in the spiritual infuses my work and runs parallel to the narrative I’m creating.

Artist Christina Bothwell is a self-taught, experimental glass artist who explores her interest in birth, death, and renewal while imbuing her work with a sense of wonder and hope. She was born in New York City and currently lives in Stillwater, Pennsylvania with her husband and teenage children.
In this rural setting, nature is the main source of inspiration for her work.
She employs a unique approach to the medium, and her figurative sculptures often contain another figure within. (from yt caption)
