The Severed Head of Medusa by artist Damien Hirst is made of a single piece of crystal glass that took three months to cool in an oven. This final product is the fifth attempt at molding the work from molten crystal; the first four cracked in the cooling process.
These are ‘nail totems’ by Leanne Helin who is a Tsimshian First Nations native woman. She is an artist in the Northwest who hand-engraves these pieces. You can buy these pieces and her gallery is here. Support First Nations businesses!
