Hand Blown Sculpture in Blue

This hand-blown, diamond-shaped glass sculpture arrests attention with its royal blue hues and sharp metallic border. The pane sits in a V-shaped stand whose sharp angles serve to contain, yet enhance the fluid lines in the glass pane, compounding into a visually striking piece. Varying opacity in the glass manipulates light in such a way that the glass appears to be in motion, in the process of revealing something on the other side. Texture is not only perceived but built into this piece, as the glass and metal themselves have brushed impressions from manipulation early in the cooling process.
