Kachina Handblown Glass Vessel

Details

This large glass piece is composed of three handblown glass forms fused to construct a totem-like sculpture. Each part is made using hot-glass techniques, infused with color, and manipulated, much like an abstract painter creates a composition. Allowing hot glass to behave characteristically, the sculpted forms reveal the movement of lines and shapes of floating colors.

The base is an inverted bowl with swirling stripes of red, yellow, orange, and white. The body is white, featuring a web of black lines moving vertically up the form. Floating over the web are various sizes of yellow-green, dark red, yellow, and black organic and floral-like shapes. A large yellow and a smaller dark red ring connect the body to an orb that repeats the colors and design of the body. At the top are 4 straight rods of glass placed vertically.
