How it's made:
I hammer copper into a bowl shape, forming details like the bottom and edges with specialized steel stakes and hammers. Then I fuse powdered glass to both sides of the bowl, building up many thin layers and firing each in a 1500 degree kiln.
I draw the image by hand, freestyle, directly on the bowl on a base coat of white glass using graphite and special enamel pencils and paint. The final steps are fusing clear layers of glass over the drawing, ensuring the one of a kind image is embedded in the bowl.
Inspiration:
This is a study for larger sculptures that explore flowers as a symbol for renewal and the ability to turn suffering into joy (like flowers blooming from compost).
Inspired by a flower I saw at the Rhododendron Botanical Garden where a bright yellow, almost plastic looking small flower was centered on drooping petal leaves that looked more like soft bunny ears. A fantastic contradiction in form and presence.
