In this presentation led by Mel Buchanan, uncover the 4,000-year history of glass around the world and how it intersects with scientific discoveries, foodways, and artistic innovations. The exhibition, Sand, Ash, Heat: Glass at the New Orleans Museum of Art details objects from Ancient Egypt to contemporary glass sculptures, also including the perspective of a working glass artist, a laboratory scientist, a member of New Orleans’ tradition of Black Masking Indians, a foodways historian, and a sculpture conservator.

In 2018 she completed a reinstallation of NOMA’s decorative arts galleries and in 2024 will complete Sand, Ash, Heat, an exhibition and catalogue drawing from the museum’s renowned collection of glass.
