Sara Hubbs utilizes what she calls the “shelf-life of the female body” by exploring connections between consumer waste products and her own transgenerational relationships with her daughter and her mother. Her unique approach to sculpture brings together recycled materials with new approaches to glass-making, bringing a fresh perspective to how these objects embody notions of protection, care, and resilience.
