A field of glass murrine transitions from blue to tangerine as it sweeps across the bowl.
Fused, cold worked and slumped with a gentle rise in the middle.
The glass cylinders in this bowl are sections individually cut from hand-pulled glass cane, which Karen creates by heating glass to 1500 degrees and pulling it into rods while molten in a modern-day adaptation of the 16th century techniques of the Murano glassmakers. The gradient of murrine as it moves around the bowl reveals a chronology of the glass cane as it emerged from the crucible.
