Molly Jo Burke explains with this recent body of work it is in the movement and flow of the glass colors as they are threaded on to the body of the sculptures and vases, or creating stacks of glass, similar to the playful creations of cairns created by carefully arranging and balancing rocks in nature.

Highlighting color, form, texture and the opportunity to play on moments in natures patterns that are similar between disparate areas. Such as vines tangling and massing, bursting occasionally with flowers and seeds, or rock textures with bursts of moss or sediment, inclusions of transparent and opaque in the stone, with some moments of disruption made by man-made architecture.
