Basket Vase Set in Amber
Blown glass

These pieces feature a crosshatch pattern of fine, threadlike glass canes in many different shades of color. The patten is held in suspension by a thick layer of crystal, giving the work its unique optical characteristics.

Made using very laborious caneworking techniques, each piece is composed of about five hundred threads.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.    -Pablo Picasso
