American glass artist Kit Paulson forms impossibly fragile objects entirely from glass. She makes glass lace, or follows the structures of blood veins and bones found in the human body... She creates wearable sculptures like masks and gloves.

Paulson works primarily with slender tubes of borosilicate glass heated with a torch through a method called flameworking. “Even with its sterility and stability, glass must be manipulated by hand, relying on very the physical, muscle memory of the hands which is invisibly powered by blood and bone,” she says.

(Borosilicate glass is a durable, high-strength glass made from silica and boron trioxide, known for its extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion making it resistant to thermal shock.)
