Dichroic Mosaic Sax Sculpture

Artistic Process: The design features an abstract mosaic of dichroic glass on a black background.  The first step was to create the dichroic mosaic glass kilnfired in a thick form.  The next step was to draw the design onto the glass with a waterproof marker then cut out on my ring saw.  Once I finished sawing, I ground smooth all the edges and then it was fire polished in the kiln.  The Sax is epoxied to the stand that was made by cutting three pieces for varying sizes and tack fusing them into the stand.    

Dimensions: 6" tall x 5" wide x 2.5" deep

Making music sculptures was inspired while I was playing the piano.  I was learning a new piece that was complex for me.  The music notes were staring back at me.  All of a sudden, I started thinking about the concept of a music note sculpture.  I immediately went to my studio to test out the idea and continue to refine the design as well as creating various color patterns including challenging to make other instruments like this sax.
