Autumn Woods II

Inspired by the dazzling show of fall colors across the Great Smoky Mountains, this glass sculpture is formed using pre-designed sheets of transparent, iridescent, and opaque glass in shades of brown, yellow, orange, and gold.

Each design is fired separately, then cut, arranged, and layered to create a harmonious composition replete with color. The sheets are slumped on a custom form, giving the piece its gently curved shape, like a fallen leaf curled on the forest floor. Each piece will vary slightly in size, shape, and design.
