I am compelled to experiment with this medium.
The unblemished smoothness and radiance of
the bright white glass provides a stark contrast
to its surroundings, emphasizing the curious
shapes. When the pieces are bathed in light
they glow with a warm translucency and cast interesting shadows.

Years ago, a local store was going out of business and getting rid of lots of glass shelves, some clear and some white. I took it all. I got about 50 huge pieces, so
much that I am still using it today.
The white glass fires so beautifully that I rarely add any color. I prefer to cut it into interesting shapes using a ring saw, then fuse the pieces together to make a more sculptural piece. I then “set” the glass in a cement base. After cutting out the figure shapes, I use the scrapes or negative shapes that are left over to create a more abstract piece. I sometimes hang separate shapes, attached by wire to the piece creating a stabile.
Like some of my cut paper work, these glass pieces were ”Matisse” inspired,
especially the three dancers, “Jazz Hands” 1, 2 and 3
and the piece “Sun and Sea”
