"Patterns"
Fused glass on metal assemblage
It has been a while since I added to this blog...life stuff does interfere! The above image shows another glass on metal assemblage recently completed. The title is "patterns", but it is also about different textures. I enjoyed moving the pieces around until balance and harmony was met. I have been told this piece looks very complicated, but that is because of the variety of patterns and textures involved. when I do an assemblage with such variety I have to remain aware of keeping balance and unity, otherwise chaos reigns. Artists as creators live on the edge of chaos for this is where the creative fire is aflame. This fine line is where we are happiest and creativity flows. We are co-creators and are happy because we are with the flow of life.
I have watercolor weavings on exhibit as part of a 13 artist show at the Nagel Warren mansion in Cheyenne. These are watercolors in which I explored various techniques, or which were unsatisfactory on completion They were given new life by cutting up and weaving together. There is always something we can do to improve artwork. See the poster above.
Love this glass and metal work! You will have to tell me more next time we visit!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gail. This is commonly known as enameling. I think fused glass on metal is more descriptive of the work. It is fascinating to explore this medium.
