Rain Rustler
Jennifer Hecker
Wearable art; glass, steel, leather, & cast bronze
66”x 25”x 25”
Rain Rustler is a mixed media, wearable artwork that uses the tropes of the Old West gunslinger to address the "water wars" out west as unprecedented droughts, brought on by global warming, spark conflicts over who owns what falls from the skies.
As a sculptor, materials are the vocabulary with which I speak. Glass is a relatively new material for me. Its transparency and fluidity suggest water, and I have been intrigued since 2013 with using glass to represent water---as both a precious natural resource and a symbol of the transient, ephemeral nature of life itself.
Rain Rustler was originally worn in a “Glass Art Fashion Show” at the Corning Museum of Glass in 2016, and again later that same year at the Toledo Museum of Art.
