Shani McLane appreciates seeds. So much so that during the summer solstice of 2015, a time of year when the sun never really sets over the Arctic Ocean, she joined twenty other artists aboard a wooden ship sailing through the chilly, iceberg-cluttered waters of an archipelago north of mainland Norway so that she could visit the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

I find myself creating patterns with similar structure." The vehicle for her patterns—always complex and colorful—are kiln-formed fused glass bowls, called vessels in the craft world.
