Veil of Dusk

This fused glass panel captures the dramatic tension between day and night in a striking vertical composition. Deep burgundy forms cascade downward like ancient cliffs, shrouded in evening shadows. Above, a brilliant stretch of sapphire blue crackles with intensity, suggesting the last moments of twilight. Along the border where light and dark converge, a lively constellation of frit and stringer glass—blues, lavenders, whites, and soft pinks—creates the illusion of wind-stirred blossoms or the spray of distant stars.

A singular white ribbon sweeps across the upper third, anchoring the abstract composition with a graceful sense of movement. The piece invites the viewer to contemplate the stillness between transitions—between colors, between times of day, between emotional states. Whether displayed as a focal point or in conversation with other works, it offers a meditative balance of strength and delicacy, grounded in the elegance of glass as a storytelling medium. Stand not included.
