London Glassblowing

About This Piece

One of two glass and steel sculptures in this format. The glass poppies are attached to the steel element magnetically and can therefore be rearranged. Some versions contain more poppy forms, both front and back. The poppy is an international symbol that celebrates the lives of the men and women lost in fighting wars. In Afghanistan, it is made particularly poignant because the opium trade is a key factor in funding hostile action.
