By referencing historical artworks through lace patterns, or traversing the structures of blood veins and bones found in the human body, she externalizes the internal and reveals hidden visceral structures all around us. She pushes the idea further still by creating wearable sculptures like masks and gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paulson works primarily with slender tubes of borosilicate glass heated with a torch through a method called flameworking. \u201cEven with its sterility and stability, glass must be manipulated by hand, relying on very the physical, muscle memory of the hands which is invisibly powered by blood and bone,\u201d she shares with Colossal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist just arrived at\u00a0Bild-Werk Frauenau\u00a0in Germany, an international forum for glass and visual arts where she\u2019ll teach for the next 6 months.
