The Ripple Vase series investigates the relationship between color saturation and material behavior in blown glass. By applying bold, layered color while allowing the molten form to move with minimal constraint, each piece captures a distinct interplay of heat, gravity, and gesture. The resulting ripples and undulations are not imposed but evidence of the glass negotiating its own form in real time. Collectively, the series stands as a study in controlled release, where intention and material chance shape a unified body of work.
