Highlighting marine conservation in the World Heritage SharkBay & Ningaloo, this glass exhibition & publishing project, focusses on waste glass. Landfill use continues unabated in these locations, recognised for their wealth of biodiversity & natural beauty. Inundated with glass waste from ecotourism, the vast Australian distances preclude transport for recycling. Promoting glass art as objects of beauty & curiosity, raises the conversation to prioritise in-situ glass recycling for construction.

During the 2022 Wisconsin Science Festival, students will learn about Blaschka glass. These amazing pieces of glass marine invertebrate models were used as teaching models throughout the world in the 1800's. They will then mimic these collections using materials other than glass. Photos of the completed models of their creation will be part of a social media campaign that will help inform professional artists and scientific glassblowers on what Blaschka pieces are most popular and informative.
