Part of Jim Scheller’s Ancient Rings series, Ancient Rings 52 is a meticulously crafted kiln-formed glass vessel that evokes the artistry of woven textiles while embracing the translucency of glass. Its pattern of interwoven rings serves as the canvas, creating a dynamic foundation for the interplay of soft amber, pale green, and warm earthy tones.

The rhythmic arrangement of these elements creates a sense of movement, as if the colors are gently shifting within the framework. Subtle variations in transparency and opacity allow light to pass through, casting intricate shadows and reflections that enhance the vessel’s depth and dimensionality.

Through Ancient Rings 52, Scheller continues his exploration of structure and fluidity, bridging the tactile traditions of woven forms with the precision and luminosity of glass.
