Spirale
Blown Glass, Light, Dichroic Film, Wood (2020)
Spirals symbolize connection to the universe and cosmic energy. The universal spiral, known as the golden ratio, is found everywhere in nature from massive galaxies to microscopic DNA molecules. The design of life and natural flow of energy is reflective of the golden ratio. The creation of this piece was ultimately inspired by this spiral of life.
“Spirale” takes advantage of the optical qualities of glass by interacting with light in a mesmerizing manner. As you explore this piece, the colors and shapes shift dramatically through the glass optics. The interaction of light within this piece results in galactic projections that transcend the limits of the physical object. Examining the inside of “Spirale” creates an otherworldly, portal-like experience. The vibrancy of the colorful light is dramatically transformed into abstract shapes that flow through the optics of the glass.
