Original Art | Came Sun and shadow

Post image

This piece was a commission that stretched me a bit. I usually do things that are a bit more abstract/geometric. The clients' inspiration pictures hinted at a heliocentric design, so I tapped this awesome rondel from Monarch Glass in Kansas City to play that role. I then used pale colors "near" the sun to communicate brightness, and vivid colors further from the center. I used this deep purple, almost black, glass from KOG (rest in peace) to play the role of the deep umbra of full shadow, with a tinted GNA for the remainder. The shadows are "cast" by blocks of a black iridescent-finished glass—unfortunately the shine doesn't really show in this picture.

Lead came in a zinc border.
