Ancient Rings 66 is a kiln-formed glass vessel that harmonizes meticulous craftsmanship with luminous design. Juried into Wayne Art Center's prestigious CraftForms 2024 exhibition by Jo Lauria, a distinguished Los Angeles-based curator, author, and educator, this piece stands as a testament to the artistry and innovation of contemporary glasswork.

The vessel is constructed from thousands of small, precision-cut pieces of sheet glass, forming a canvas of ivory rings that hold vibrant accents of pale green and amber. Translucent amber windows punctuate the surface, capturing and refracting light to cast a warm, glowing radiance. Flowing arcs of green weave through the composition, adding a sense of movement and continuity that enhances its depth and visual intrigue.

The interplay of light, texture, and color in Ancient Rings 66 highlights the artist's technical precision and thoughtful vision. Selected for CraftForms 2024, one of the nation’s most esteemed craft exhibitions, this vessel exemplifies the expressive potential of kiln-formed glass, inviting viewers to explore its timeless beauty and intricate narrative.
