DescriptionThe work consists of three associated sets of abstract, three-dimensional, solid forms in kiln-cast glass. Vase (A), Bottle (B), Bowl (C)– Outlines consists of three flat panels in angular outlines of a bottle, vase, and bowl, all kiln-cast of transparent colorless glass with opaque black walls. “Bottle’s” thick edge is coated with translucent blue glass, “Vase” has a yellow, and “Bowl” a red edge. In the second set, the vessel outlines appear in colorless glass, edged in the same color sequence, in a solid rectangle with black wall as transparent silhouettes. The third set consists of the same vessel shapes as the previous ones, except that their edge is outlined with transparent enamel.
