Fused Glass Table Sculpture: Hoe A Mau - Room For New Growth

$425

"Hoe a mau," paddle together, is an important concept in Hawaii meaning to make the most of each contributor's strength. This piece explores the action of lava as it spills down the mountain into the sea, effectively creating new land. As I was working on this piece, the kiln carving of the surging lava made me think of heaving sobs from a child who is coming to terms with a new reality- growing up. The parent can only offer the space for this new growth. This piece makes a unique table sculpture that transmits and reflects the ambient light in the room. Each viewing angle offers a new vista. Approximate dimensions: 9.5" D x 13" W x 6" H

My name is Michelle Caron and I am the owner and artist at Caron Art Glass -now located in Salem, Oregon. I have been working with glass for over 25 years creating fused glass, stained glass and glass mosaic art work. My passion for glass germinated in the cathedrals of France, developed roots in Hawai`i and is now branching out in Oregon. Commissioning artwork is very rewarding. The result is a piece of art to which you have a uniquely personal connection. Your involvement in the process can range from a general idea of the design or purpose of the piece to an ongoing conversation as we develop a design that expresses your voice. Your satisfaction is always my primary goal. Finding the perfect gift is time well spent when you give a quality handmade item that brings joy to the person who receives it. In addition to commission work, I create ready-to-purchase boutique items each of which is unique. From fused glass sculptures that bring new energy into a space, fused glass table ware for that special occasion, to personal items for the office and library, or one of a kind jewelry. There is something for everyone - even those hard-to-buy-for friends and family.
