16 x 20" Flameworked and Kilnformed Soda Lime Glass
-
Taking inspiration from a Navajo Chief-Style Blanket, this piece begun with a conversation in January and ended up in a Texas Hill Country ranch home in May. The 1870 Navajo textile this piece takes inspiration from had beautiful color and motif. Staying true to the inspiration while accommodating my vision of this fabric like work of glass called for attention to detail from beginning to end. The entire piece is made of 1mm strings of glass. The end trim and highlighted seems are finished with twisted cane. It was slumped in a custom made mold to provide for the fabric like folds and finished with brackets to suspend the piece 1.5" from the wall.
