A Father and His Girls is a fused glass wall art panel. Two kiln firings of up to 1500 degrees create this piece. The first firing allows the background to become very smooth and shiny. The second firing is done at a lesser temperature so that the figure adheres on top of the glass. In this way the figures and their accompanying embellishments stand out in three dimensions. All the glass is adhered together and become one piece. The dichroic glass embellishments making it appear to change color and glitter.
The special effects from the 2 separate pieces of background glass allow it to look like a sunrise or sunset when it is backlit. When there is no backlighting it is a lovely, bright scene of a father taking his girls with him to some special occasion. The wall art panel can be hung at a window to show both the day and night changes in the glass due to the changing lighting. Two pictures in one.
Commissions welcome.
