Northern Lights - Glass - $2000 (Entire Piece)

Artist's Statement

This past winter I found myself in the upper peninsula of Michigan in search of the

Northern Lights for the first time. Upon seeing this astronomical phenomenon I immediately felt

inspired to incorporate what I witnessed into a body of artwork.

I have spent the past 2 years experimenting with the reactive colors to see how different

colors create different patterns when they touch on the glass. I've always been deeply surprised

with how the reactions in the glass turn out because you never know exactly what they will look

like. When seeing the Northern Lights the colors almost look painterly and blended together and

I am directly trying to recreate the blended color look and the elegance of the northern lights on

my vessels using reactive color techniques.
