"Fire and Ice" -- Crash Glass Art
During April, The Ink People Center for the Arts exhibit is a about global warming, but, I thought, those words are only half the story -- at least so most scientists tell us.
The other half is another ice age, and what a perfect chance for me to create another piece using my newest favorite material -- broken auto window glass.
I began with a map from 1500, drawn by a German cartographer -- after all the theme was "global." After scanning the 'segmented' map in Photo Shop, I drew a landscape using hot and cool colors. The landscape was, of course "flat" so I included branches -- both in the art as well as in 3-d, adding icicles to complete the image.
