Under The Sea

Inspiration: the sparkling colors and movement under the sea. 

Artistic Process: The background is black and then is layered with colored and  dichroic glass in varying depth under clear glass.  

The glass stand is kilnformed into a shape including a slot to support the sculpture with coldworking to ensure the bottom is level and sturdy. 

Dimensions:  10.5" wide x 12"tall x 3" deep

• Dichroic glass - Thin layers of metallic oxides, such as titanium, silicon, and magnesium are deposited upon the surface of the glass in a high temperature, vacuum furnace. This creates a brilliant coating on the glass that displays more than one color, especially when viewed from different angles.
