Tracy became interested in the shape and colour of cancer cells through her own research after close family members were diagnosed with a genetic form of the disease.
“I saw an image of cancerous cells and thought how beautifully fragile they appear, but of course we all know how unpleasant they really are,” said Tracy. “The image reinforced the old adage that looks can be deceiving.”
Tracy will however have to create new artworks if she is to fulfil her plans – she sold all of her artworks during the Glass Biennale exhibition, which closed on September 28 2008.
The 3rd British Glass Biennale, which is part of the International Festival of Glass, was staged at the Ruskin Glass Centre in Amblecote near Stourbridge, the historical heart of the UK glass industry.
