Wall Lilies: Fused Glass Wall Sculpture
This fused glass wall sculpture was inspired by the Monet lilies of the 19th century with a 21st century twist. The sculptural arrangement is constructed using three lily pad sections that circle around a sparkling three-dimensional lily. The arrangement is merely a suggestion as the pieces can be adjusted and re-interpreted as wished. The glass is attached to the wall using stand-offs, which brings the glass slightly away from the wall to add dimension and reflection. This allows the transparency to shine through. The lily flower extends from the wall and is 7 inches around and 3 inches deep. The lily pads measure 12 inch, 10 inch and 6 inch with each lily pad piece varying slightly in color and details. Item can be customized as well where more lily pad and flower components can be added to the glass grouping.

"As an artist, my goal is to visually communicate using kiln-fired glass. The fluid nature of melting glass adds an energy and organic feeling to the image. It seems as if, after I cut the glass, layer it, then put it in the kiln; the glass is born. I open the kiln to a new creation which comes from my mind’s eye AND the psyche of the glass and kiln.
Choosing the colors that enhance the mood of the image is an intuitive ritual. I cut and layer the brilliant colored opaque and transparent glass in a collage-type arrangement to simply and unceremoniously depict my plan. The pile of glass pieces is then placed in the kiln for firing and I experience a release and abandonment of control over the outcome. I open the kiln the next day to a new and exciting birth of an art form. The idea from which I started and the direction the glass chooses, leads to an expression and idea that becomes my narrative."
