Acquaetta Williams

Though the form of this glass sculpture references functionality, Acquaetta Williams calls it a talisman—an object that may bring luck and divine power. For this example, the artist has blown glass into the shape of a bottle. She then carved horizontal lines into its walls and attentively wrapped the striations with copper wire and beads.
