Description: | This piece is made up of many strips of glass. Set diagonally within the depth of the bowl, the flat edge of each strip has been coated with oxides of semi-transparent colour. These oxides are only visible when light is reflected directly off them. Depending on how the bowl is lit, the spaces in-between the black stripes of the bowl appear either clear or iridescent. This is an example of kiln fused glass, which refers to the way in which the strips of glass are held together - having undergone a process of heat in a kiln.
