Exhibitions at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft

Bressner’s illuminated hanging gardens are made of lamp-worked glass, paired with laser-cut and hand-painted fabrics. The space is transformed not only from above, but also from below. Underneath each glass chandelier, the fabrics create three- dimensional quilted clouds.
