The Doll Looks, and Looks was my very first glass artwork and also served as my graduation project at the Jaschik Art Vocational School’s glass program.

SIZE with frame: 23 x 33 cm

You can view my portfolios documenting this process here. The Doll Looks, and Looks is part of the Final Show cat silhouette series, in which I aimed to capture the essence of a cat’s character. You can read more about the series here, including the deeper meaning behind the silhouettes and why it’s called Final Show. The piece was inspired by a real cat named Izabella (FIV+); the silhouette is a combination of two photos of her, which you can also find among the images. I first sketched the cat’s skeleton to understand the form, then drew its silhouette, cut it out, and created prints using the monotype technique. After the paper prints, I turned the design into a glass artwork, later transforming it into watercolor and acrylic paintings, tote bags, and linocut prints. The original series consists of seven pieces, and I made a video about it—you can watch it here.
