From the artist: “This piece is from the Meanders series, inspired by the original and intricate work of the Italian architect and glass designer Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978). Meanders refer to the curves and loops in rivers and roads that take you all over the place before getting you to your destination.
The Meanders begin in my shop as fused bars of glass with patterns inside. The pattern bars go on to the hot shop to be heated and stretched and cut into murrine. Fabrication, fusing, forming and finishing follow, back in my shop. Some of the surfaces are carved to resemble hammered metal, some are etched for a matte effect, some are left glossy.”
“Since I was having so much fun with Meanders (No Exit, You Can’t Get There From Here, Overpass, etc.) it just followed that I have a multi-lane highway that stopped dead and took a sharp turn. Pure whimsy.”
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.

“Each piece of glass in Martin Kremer’s fused glass work becomes part of a larger story. I really enjoy hearing about the inspiration behind each piece; he brings wonderful stories to life in his expressive pieces.”

Martin Kremer: The Artist
For Martin Kremer, glass has been a medium of expression for more than 40 years. He started as a stained glass enthusiast while pursuing a career in medical technology. Glass eventually took over, evolving from a hobby to a spare-time business to a full-time obsession.
