Parallel Currents

This striking rectangular dish is a symphony of cool-toned bands and shifting light. Bold strips of sapphire, cobalt, and violet stretch across the surface in parallel formation, each one softened by the subtle texture of kiln-fused glass. A central olive-toned stripe, punctuated by a line of intricate black loops, creates a visual anchor—adding rhythm and movement like ripples in layered water.

The slight curve of the form adds dimension, inviting touch and interaction while enhancing the optical flow of the colors. Perfect as a functional accent or an artful centerpiece, this piece offers a dynamic yet composed aesthetic. It brings together the fluidity of color with the stability of line, like tides moving in harmony across a serene horizon.
