"Borovirus Happypill" Size: 1.13" Price: SOLD


I am proud to present Nathan's new Borovirus series! These hand carved marbles are a memorial to the 2019-2020 tragedy that is Covid19, the novel coronavirus that has wreaked havoc across the world. As a collector, I absolutely love pieces of art that I have an emotional connection to, and these marbles have that in spades. It is a negative connection for sure, but this time period will be so indelibly imprinted on our brains that I really wanted something in my collection that would forever have an intimate connection for me between marbles and these bizarre and often tragic times. I was excited when Nathan created this new series of work, and even more excited when he agreed to make a group of them which I could offer to all of you. I hope you too will feel the connection between glass and our world around us, and be able to add one of these intriguing pieces to the collection! Each one is unique, with a colored blank made by glassblower Doug Whaley, which Nathan then painstakingly carved into the Borovirus form. Pick the one that speaks to you which will be a marker in your collection for this time in history! Most of these marbles will have a video included on my Instagram page @glass_orbits if you want to view it there and see what it looks like in the sunlight.
