From the artist: “These threads are drawn from a molten pool of hot glass; they come in a candy store of colors. Much of what I make starts with “what if?” What if I embedded glass threads in a solid clear matrix? And then cut the glass in strips to expose the edges? And then laid the strips in patterns. Or pulled fanciful organisms from those threads and layered them in glass “ponds”….A glimpse of part of a sculpture in the Corning Museum sparked this one. The patterns in the Evidence series remind me of the results of gel electrophoresis of proteins. (I used to work as a medical lab technologist.)”

This piece is part of our Masterworks Collection, where we showcase the finest examples of contemporary glass art from the best glass artists in the world who are truly masters of their craft.
