Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, where my family and I relied on fishing for food, the starry flounder became a vital staple in my life. From a young age, harvesting this beautiful creature sparked a deep respect and admiration for all flatfish of the Salish Sea, though the starry flounder was always my favorite. Often dismissed as ugly or bizarre, I aim to highlight the unique beauty and perfect design of these remarkable fish in this piece. Sculpted in the hotshop entirely from furnace glass, this starry flounder is then sandblasted and mounted on a custom steel stand.

Dimensions: 9 x 9.5 x 14 inches
