Mayim Chayim is safely mounted over the mantle piece. This was a commissioned piece. I am grateful to the owner for this photo. The glass is mounted on polished aluminum and then carefully fastened to the wall. This photo captures the iridescent sheen of the base glass quite well. I can hardly wait to check it out in person!
Quite the serenade .... one of many perks in having an outdoor space to work in! Sorry for the silence on this blog. Between Jewish holidays and a number of commissions, it's been a busy place! Photos of new work should appear in early October. Info about an upcoming show will be posted soon.
My most recently completed commission! Iridized black glass with a clear base supports a river of glass blobs. This is a photo of it prior to mounting it on a sheet of polished aluminum . The final piece is 24"x18.5" and definitely the largest piece I've made to date. The final piece will be mounted over the mantel and I hope the owner will send me a picture of it in situ. It's quite heavy....so I will be channeling positive energy to the handyman charged with the task of mounting it to the wall. As always, I find myself lamenting over the challenges of photographing glass....the vibrancy of the iridized finish in contrast to the glass blobs (such an inelegant term!) is too challenging for my photographic abilities.
I am a fused glass artist in Portland, Oregon, specializing in the creation of fused glass Judaica. My work is inspired by Torah study and a careful study of our liturgy. I love playful bright colors and am delighting in using pattern bars to create non-Judaica designs. Feel free to see my work on the ORA: Northwest Jewish Artists
