Ancient Rings 93 speaks in a soft voice.

Lavender-green rises from the base and moves upward through a canvas of ivory rings — steady, vertical, measured. The color does not demand attention. It waits.

This vessel does not perform. It does not dramatize contrast or tension. It settles. The lavender-green hovers between blue and green, shifting gently with light, revealing itself gradually.

The repeated vertical bands create structure, but the structure is calm. There is no urgency here. Only presence.

Composed of thousands of individually cut pieces of sheet glass, every decision is permanent — embedded in the surface and beyond revision. And yet, the finished form feels effortless. Released.

Within the broader arc of the Ancient Rings series, this piece is an exhale. A quieting. A moment where the work steps back and speaks more softly — and in that softness, there is beauty.
