Shackle with Bolt - Blue Glass Sculpture

Shackle with Bolt & Wood Washer – Blue Glass Sculpture | Mike Cameron

Mike Cameron’s Shackle with Bolt & Wood Washer transforms everyday industrial form into a refined sculptural statement. Cast in luminous blue glass, the shackle's curve catches and holds light—inviting contemplation around strength, connection, and the beauty of utility.

Paired with a glass bolt and wooden washers, and linked by rope this work contrasts hard-edged function with handcrafted softness. The rich cobalt tones of the glass evoke moana (the ocean), while the tactile elements of timber and steel suggest grounding and resilience.

As with all of Mike Cameron’s pieces, there’s deeper narrative at play—balancing tradition and material experimentation. The result is a bold, contemporary object that reflects both the natural world and human craft.

A powerful standalone artwork, or a striking addition to a modern Aotearoa collection.
