This is the work of Australian artist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edwardwaring.com\/\">Edward Waring<\/a>. Vintage Crystal and Glass. Epoxy Adhesive. Acrylic Paint. Hard Acrylic Extender. Yep, that sounds like my kind &#8216;o materials list! These are all from his series titled<em> &#8220;Memory Sticks&#8221;<\/em>, each one named with a woman&#8217;s name &#8230; from Betty to Mabel! Here&#8217;s part of his artist statement that focuses on these candy-colored towers of repurposed crystal goodness:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Currently, Waring is utilising vintage crystal and cut glass, repurposing and altering the once cherished tableware to create pieces that require the audience to re-explore what could be considered old fashioned or \u2018pass\u00e9\u2019. Waring\u2019s work reclaims old traditions and old fashioned ways of life and creates a space for them in the contemporary. His use of tableware once saved for \u2018best\u2019 in households gives new life to forgotten pieces, and asks the viewer to reflect on feelings of childhood, memory and family.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Absolutely!
