Frozen Scenes

This piece was created for my Grad Show in 2014 using a combination of glass, porcelain and light, which together create a miniature winter scene. The porcelain section was fired with an image of a tree hidden within, which is revealed by light passing through the translucent material. The layers of glass were fused in the kiln with my drawings trapped between each layer, creating a depth of field that can only be fully realized when viewed in person. The light, which was placed as the moon in the sky, not only acts to illuminate the hidden tree but also to highlight the snow falling (air bubbles in the glass).
