OPUS #1

Lamp worked borosilicate glass

22 H x 30 W x 15 D cm

Through the millennia art has dealt with many ways of representing allegorical ideas, relating concepts and ideals in stories to the human form and its relationships to various elemental entities. Glass comes from fire as a liquid, and the relationship between fire and liquid is like a dance in the glassmaker’s hands. In OPUS #1 fire and liquid engage in a stately Cotillion.
