Ember Swell, Red Glass Abstract

A close-up of glossy, translucent glass shaped like a large red rounded form, with an orange patch at its upper left. Thin bright lines of light run across the red surface, and small bubbles are scattered through it. Soft blurred patches of green, blue, yellow and cream fill the background.

A deep crimson glass form swells across the frame, lit from within by thin streaks of refracted light and a glowing orange patch. Behind it, soft blocks of green, blue, yellow and cream stay out of focus. It is a bold red piece with real depth: the colour is something you look into, not a flat field. Someone wants it for the pull of the colour alone, and the small details (bubbles, specks, bright rims) keep rewarding a second look.
