Interpretive NotesMeat Chandelier transforms the ornate, floral Venetian chandelier into a butcher’s rack. Czeresko's self-proclaimed “sausage fest” pokes fun at macho glassblowers and their obsession with historic Venetian glassblowing techniques. Using her own mastery of those skills and her sense of humor, Czeresko asserts her queer female presence in glass.
