Recycled Glass Sculptures ‘Flying Nun’ by Juli Bolaños

The Flying Nun Recycled Glass Sculptures by Juli Bolaños is part of the Ode to Intuición series and can be purchased as a stand-alone sculpture or as part of a mix-and-match glass set. The Flying Nun stands at approximately 14cm tall and uses the bold contrast of clear and deep blue glass. The Ode to intuición series by Juli comprises all non-functional vessels and was started in Edinburgh in 2013.

Juli’s inspiration for her Ode to Intuición series and pieces such as the Flying Nun’ Recycled Glass Sculptures comes from intuitive play and the ability to create new ideas from objects she finds. Every object that Juli finds is precious in its own unique way, Juli’s ability being that of seeking out the preciousness of objects discarded by others and transforming them into works of art. Each piece from the series tells a story, the creations coming from her ability to play with and explore different and contrasting materials.
