This is a freeform octopus sitting on another piece that is also white. I really liked how he worked the surface of the glass on its body to make it appear Alive and charged with energy.
This was a small piece in proportion to alot of the display-maybe 10-12" across. Sort of a filler thing. Some of his pieces in this display and other displays are 3-4ft across-just individual pieces. Some of the spheres in and around the boats and in this display were easily 2 ft. in diameter and perfect exact spheres with their designs and overlays. A few more photos will be coming tonight.
What was the size of the octopus? About? I am wondering how he creates these huge pieces. I was at the glass blowing shop at Tacoma's Glass Museum. Seeing the guys doing even the small stuff looked like a pretty hard job! Amazing. Thanks.
You're absolutely right, warbler. When I solved and magnified, the texture and tension were very evident. Yet another stunningly example of his great artistry. I envy you your visit...this is very high on my bucket list! Thanks again, Michelle
